Simon Carter
Simon Carter Ltd. is a British fashion design company specialising in men's accessories and menswear, founded in London in 1985 by its eponymous director.[1]
Whilst training as an immunologist in the early 1980s Simon Carter became inspired by the vibrant culture of London's King's Road. He had a vintage brooch copied in pewter and, after some time going from premises to premises in the King's Road sold the item to the jeweller's Cobra & Bellamy.[2]
In 1995, Simon Carter was noted for creating the so-called 'Aspirin cufflink', which features a small headache pill sized screwtop container.[3] The design saw Simon Carter dubbed "The King of Cufflinks" by Brighton-based Absolute magazine.[4]
In 2013 Simon Carter Ltd. was awarded Drapers 'Menswear Brand Of the Year'.[5]
