Collier Schorr's Margaret Howell Campaign: 26 Years in the Making
Collier Schorr, a renowned photographer, has realized a long-held dream by capturing the campaign for Margaret Howell's Autumn/Winter 2026 collection. This aspiration dates back to the early 1980s when she first encountered Howell's designs in i-D magazine. Schorr, born in New York in 1963, is celebrated for her focus on the female perspective and identity. In 2000, she left her book 'Conquistadores' at a Margaret Howell store in hopes of a partnership but received no reply. After expressing renewed interest last year, the collaboration materialized, with the campaign featured in AnOther magazine. The AW26 collection is now available both in stores and online. Margaret Howell was established in 1970, with its inaugural shop opening in 1976.
