BETTY JACKSON'S BOY


For all you loyal DWS fans who keep asking after the whereabouts of everyone's favourite British Designer BETTY JACKSON CBE we can report a sighting.  NO, she's not coming out of 'retirement' to do another Collection .... and trust me, at DWS we miss her more than most.  We carried her line for the first 25 years of our business without a single exception until she stopped.  And it wasn't just the clothes we loved but the fact that she, and husband DAVID COHEN are two of THE nicest people we have ever had the joy to meet in this industry.

We caught up with Betty and David recently and learned that whilst they are no longer in the retail buisness, their son is, sort of.  OLIVER JACKSON-COHEN is a very successful actor and he recently played the part of scene-stealing heartthrob artist Roddy in the hit TV Series 'MR. SELFRIDGE'. 




After catching his big break on 'LARK RISE TO CANDLEFORD' Betty's boy's star has risen and trust me, you couldn't find a prouder pair of parents.

We are so happy that she is enjoying her retirement and if you still crave her clothes .... well her collection will not return, but you can get the diffusion line she does for DEBENHAMS.
