Notes
Jacques Vert Group (Sun Capital) became Style Group, sold to Calvetron in June 2017, which collapsed in May 2018; Philip Day's EWM bought the Calvetron brands in Aug 2018. Wikipedia lists Jacques Vert, Précis, Dash and Eastex as trading and Windsmoor, Planet and Kaliko on hiatus; the post-2020 EWM administration leaves current ownership reported rather than verified.
