Button Detail Cotton Poplin Woven Asymmetric Shirt
The white shirt that loops directly back to Karen Millen's origin story.
Story & heritage
Wikipedia's Karen Millen history notes that the business began with a run of white cotton shirts bought with a £100 loan in 1981. That makes sharp white shirting more than a category for the label: it is the founding object.
This asymmetric poplin version updates that origin story with a directional hem and sculpted sleeve detail while staying recognisably rooted in the same crisp-shirt idea.
Materials & craft
The product name identifies the key materials and construction points: cotton poplin, woven fabrication, button detailing and an asymmetric cut. Poplin gives the shirt its clean structure; the angled hem keeps it from reading purely corporate.
How to choose & style
Tuck only the front edge and let the hem do the work. It is strongest with slim black tailoring, leather, or a pencil skirt rather than anything too relaxed.
