Browns Boutique is a very fashionable boutique on South Moulton Street in London, long filled with often cutting-edge, but always influential fashion from designers like Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons and Azzedine Alaia.

Joan Burnstein: ‘When I started out, I didn’t know a thing - but I had passion, and a husband who knew all about business’I’ve always assumed that the person behind Browns Boutique was herself a style-maker, but I smile today, seeing Mrs. B’s photo and learning that she is 82-years-old.
