Jeff Banks

Jeff Banks was another prominent British designer. He first came into the fashion business in 1964 by opening a boutique in London called "Clobber." It housed the works of designers such as Ossie Clark, Janice Wainwright and Jean Muir. Soon after Banks started designing for the shop. In the 70's he got into mass retail with his "Warehouse" label and remains to design today.
