In 1979, Katharine Hamnett set up her own label. By 1985, it was selling in over 700 retail outlets in 40 countries, with a loyal following including The Beatles, Princess Diana, Faye Dunaway, Madonna and George Michael. Responsible for much of the original 80s fashion, she coined the phrase 'Power Dressing', epitomising the 80's lifestyle and spearheading the return of tailoring and glamour. Her success steamrolled into the next decade as Hamnett rocked the industry by becoming the first fashion designer not to show in her own capital after a row with the British Fashion Council. Hamnett is considered to be one of the most copied designers in the world with her influence laying claim to the invention of the original slogan t-shirt, stretch denim, stonewashing, parachute silk, garment dyeing, leggings, lycra and jumpsuits.
In 2004, she cancelled her licences and began manufacturing her own ethical and environmental collection, laying down the gauntlet for industry change.
Hear Katharine’s story of her journey from one of the world’s most prolific designers to being voted 'Green Godmother' of the industry.
