The company was founded by fashion student Karen Millen in 1981, along with Kevin Stanford, the two started off selling white shirts made to their friends. Their persistence allowed them to open their first store Maidstone, Kent in 1983. The idea grew from a made-shift business that sold shirts from a £100 loan, to a globally competitive brand with sites in more than 60 countries.
