Browns Fashion is a London-based luxury department store known for its rich heritage and pioneering role in introducing cutting-edge designers to the UK. In 2015, Browns was acquired by Farfetch, enabling it to merge its legacy of boutique curation with cutting-edge digital innovation. Today, Browns operates not only as a physical retail store but also as a global luxury e-commerce platform, offering a curated selection of fashion to customers worldwide.
Founded in 1970 by Joan Burstein and her husband Sidney, Browns was instrumental in launching the careers of now-iconic designers such as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Calvin Klein. In 2021, Browns unveiled its new flagship boutique at 39 Brook Street in Mayfair, a Grade II* listed building dating back to 1720. The store's interior was designed by Milan-based Dimorestudio, who blended the building's historical features with contemporary design elements.
