Mac Millan

Mac Millan was founded by Scottish designer Jane McMillan who wanted to carve a niche in the fashion universe with her original vision of colour and texture.

Jane was born on the South West coast of Scotland which has been a major source of inspiration for her print designs. She moved to London to study womenswear at The London University of the Arts, winning many awards for design including one from The British Council presented by Lady Diana, Princess of Wales.

Jane further enhanced her skills in many British design houses and has been an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins College and consultant to the governments sector advisory board for design. In 1997 rather than work at international fashion house Jill Sander, Jane launched her first collection of silk chiffon dresses which was stocked by London boutique “Koh Samui”.

Mac Millan’s original digital prints and vivacious colour palette continue to push textile boundaries. The synergy of fresh modern silhouettes infused with creativity make Mac Millan collections unique in the fashion landscape.

In 2007 Jane was recognised by judges such as Hilary Alexander and Kate Phelan of British Vogue when she was nominated for Scottish Designer of the Year alongside peers including Jonathan Saunders and Christopher Kane .

The epitome of taste and glamour, Mac Millan collections have appeared at the most prestigious fashion events such as New York (on schedule catwalk shows) London, Paris and Tokyo Fashion Weeks with audiences consisting of the fashion worlds opinion formers. The individual collections have attracted many celebrities and in 2009 Dannii Minogue wore a Mac Millan garment on X Factor.

The original charm and heritage of a Mac Millan design is enriched by quality craftsmanship and luxury which embody the distinctive culture of the brand.
