Margaret Howell's 2027 Calendar Turns Personal with Her Own Photographs, Paired with London Exhibition and New Book
The 2027 calendar titled 'Photographs by Margaret Howell' showcases images captured by Margaret Howell using a Nikon SLR camera or her smartphone. The collection features various scenes, from beach walks in Suffolk to self-portraits taken in her Blackheath studio. An exhibition is scheduled at her Wigmore Street store in London, running from 23 October to 15 November 2026. Additionally, a bilingual book named 'Margaret Howell: Life and Work', released by Shueisha, delves into her design philosophy and includes her photography. This follows the success of 'Margaret Howell Houses' (2006), which sold over 50,000 copies. Both the calendar and book will be available starting 22 October 2026. Howell remarks, "It is always when you see something that's either unusual or really beautiful."
