Miss Selfridge is a nationwide UK high street store which began as the young fashion section of
Selfridges department store in London in 1966. Miss Selfridge got its name when
Charles Clore, the owner of Selfridges at the time, saw a window display in the
Bonwit Teller store in
New York which showed "Miss Bonwit" dresses aimed specifically at teenagers. He later launched it throughout his
Lewis's & Selfridges stores throughout the UK
