Timeline
Evans was founded in 1930 by the manufacturer Jack Green.
After 40 years as a limited company, the Burton Group (now Arcadia Group) acquired Evans and it became a public company.
Mail order purchases were introduced in 1972, just after Evans had expanded to over 77 branches nationwide and in 1988 became the market leader for women's wear above a UK size 14.
In 1994, the first Evans brochure featured in Good Housekeeping and Prima Magazine, consisting of just 12 pages.
In 1997, Evans launched SeVen, a more fashion-led label for the younger customers and also became the first Arcadia brand to start selling online.
In 1998, Helen Teague and her comedienne partner Dawn French launched the 1647 range, exclusively designed for Evans.
In 2007, Crystal Renn became the official face of Evans, featuring in the first TV advertising campaign and all in-store merchandising.
