Spring 2005 saw the launch of
Chiltern Street Studio which has already become a destination showroom for UK and export clients alike. Based in a renovated Victorian school in Marylebone, Chiltern Street Studio carries inspiring wholesale ranges, interesting accessories, individual designers and contemporary collections.
Lucille Lewin, as owner and founder of Whistles, was the first to spot, buy and nurture the collections of Helmut Lang, Jean Paul Gaultier, Viktor and Rolf, Dries Van Noten and Marni amongst many others. During her time as Creative Director of department store Libertys, Lucille drove and directed the repositioning of the entire brand.
Denise Tavernier has built her career within the fashion industry, firstly working with British designers Sara Sturgeon and Ally Capellino, and then as Sales Manager for Palladio. Here she was responsible for selecting ranges, and built strong associations and brand recognition for many designers including John Rocha, Orla Kiely, Elspeth Gibson, Betsey Johnson, Earl Jean, Chine and Just In Case.
Jane Wilson joined Chiltern Street Studio from Nicole Farhi, where she enjoyed considerable success as International Sales Manager. She has once again teamed up with Lucille Lewin, having worked with her as Sales Manager for Whistles, where she successfully transformed the brand into a commodity recognised worldwide.
