Pollen, Arabella (1961– )

English fashion designer. She achieved instant success in 1981 when she sold one of her first coat designs to the Princess of Wales. She has become familiar for her classic styles – tailored, sophisticated shapes in bright-coloured wool and cotton. In 1991 she launched Pollen B, a line of clothing directed at a younger market, which is simpler in design and cheaper than her main collection.
