Cashmere queen

1992

With a small sketch book and some Scottish gumption, Belinda Robertson set out to make cashmere cool, launching her eponymous brand.

Quite the rabble rouser, Belinda quickly makes her name within the knitwear sector with daring designs like her infamous cashmere knickers. Cashmere has never been so cheeky.
