Browns Fashion

Fashion Destination

Recognised as one of the world’s most important fashion destinations, Browns was founded by Joan Burstein and her late husband, Sidney, in 1970. Initially a small boutique housed on the ground floor at 27 South Molton Street, Browns grew rapidly expanding through five connecting Georgian townhouses. Famously credited with discovering talents such as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Christopher Kane, Browns has continued to support and promote fashion designers over the decades, offering everything from some of the world’s most famous names to emerging designers.

In 2006, Joan Burstein was honoured with a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, in acknowledgement not only of her achievements at Browns, but for her support of the British fashion industry as a whole.

Today, Browns is still family-owned and run, with Simon Burstein as CEO and Caroline Burstein as creative director.
