Joan Burstein, grundaren av butiken Browns, har avlidit vid 100 års ålder

Joan Burstein, pionjären inom detaljhandeln bakom butiken Browns, gick bort i fredags vid 100 års ålder. Hon var känd som Mrs. B i modevärlden och var en förkämpe för nya brittiska designers och internationella varumärken från sin butik i London. Hennes familj meddelade att hon somnat in lugnt och konstaterade att hennes innehållsrika liv firades för bara några månader sedan vid hennes 100-årsdag.

Joan Burstein CBE avled fridfullt i fredags, vilket hennes barn Simon Burstein och Caroline Hammond bekräftade i ett uttalande. "Vi är djupt bedrövade över att meddela att vår underbara mor... har somnat in lugnt", sade de. Tidigare i år, i februari, firade hon sin 100-årsdag i sitt hem på Ibiza genom att dansa till ett swingband omgiven av sina nära och kära. Burstein efterlämnar två barn, sju barnbarn och sju barnbarnsbarn.
