Armani, Peugeot, Fendi - names you wouldn't necessarily link with the Spen Valley. But Heckmondwike-born Brian Tattersfield helped propel them to the forefront of design. Brian, born at Kilpin Hill, was co-founder, partner and creative head of Minale Tattersfield, which he launched with Italian designer Marcello Minale. They became two of the top designers in Europe with Harrods, Giorgio Armani, Nivea, London Transport and the Imperial War Museum among their client list. The artwork in the three subways connecting the central terminals of Heathrow Airport is that of the Minale Tattersfield studio.
