This article from the Independent is a few years old but I still like to open it up on occasion for inspiration. The interior of the home matches well with her clothing lines, along with the furniture that she sells in her own stores.

South Willard just put up their Spring/Summer 2010 shipments for Margaret Howell and MHL. My favorite pieces are the light blue chambray shirt and tan leather belt.

Margaret Howell Spring/Summer 2010 for Men

Some looks are now available online for Margaret Howell’s SS10 collection for men. The styling is pretty boring this season (kinda APC-ish), but I’m sure the pieces will be much better on their own.

A Quote from Margaret Howell

R.A. Schenck — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:16:05 +0000

From an essay she wrote in the current issue of GQ Style:

We dress to conform: business suit, dinner jacket. We dress for fun, fantasy, fancy-dress or roleplay. Or we dress simply to be ourselves. And when we want to be authentic, we choose workwear. Workwear has been a vital element in the social revolution of the past 60 years. In 1950 it was invisible; now it is everywhere. It defies the notion that familiarity breeds contempt.

Among the clothing that is sold in her stores, are reproduction furniture pieces from British companies. Out of her selections, I like Ercol’s original pieces the most as to me they feel like a good balance between old and contemporary designs. Read on for more scans and images.

The scans come from GQ Style and the MHL S/S2009 catalog lookbook.

A selection of scans from the MHL Japanese catalog for S/S2009. My favorite piece shown was the yellow windbreaker, but it seems very hard to find – perhaps it was not put into production?
