Karen Millen is a designer, high end High Street chain of shops which delivers designer looks to make you look and feel confident and chic. Pint sized Eva Longoria famously wore the Karen Millen turquoise silk dress from 2008 to the premier of "The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button".

The Karen Millen brand was sold in 2004 to the Mosaic Group for £120million.

Sadly, the Mosaic Group have since closed the Karen Millen shop in Maidstone, but there are many other Karen Millen shops throughout the UK and the rest of the world.

I live in the North East of England, and I have shopped in the Karen Millen shop in the Victoria Quarter in Leeds (very nice) and also the Karen Millen designer outlet centre just outside of York on the A64. I have bought items in both shops, my favourite being a metallic leather jacket that I have barely had off my back since buying it. The leather is so soft and supple it just makes my other jackets look cheap and ill-fitting.

The Karen Millen Outlet at York has since closed. However, there is a now an .
