Michelle Obama’s fashion choices during the G20 summit in London had the media at full attention, which naturally drew focus to her British counterpart, Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister’s wife, and her attire. FBC member, Britt Lintner’s designs are a favourite of Sarah Brown’s and it was her knee-length, navy blue dress that Sarah wore the first day. The ‘Renu,’ as it is called, retails for £490 and was written about everywhere from Vogue.com to USA Today.

Swedish American, Britt started with a degree in economics and racked up an impressive career in the financial services industry (from securities lending to institutional equity sales) before studying at London’s Instituto Marangoni and launching Britt Lintner Limited in 2006. Her label is designed for professional women and aims to be ‘chic, corporate and comfortable.’ Britt still holds a leading role in the financial world, which gives her an intimate understanding of what her target customer needs.

Britt’s collections are designed and produced in the UK and range in influence from the 1920’s to the 1970’s, along with inspiration from Britt’s own eclectic and international life.
