Neil Winterbotham is a British former fashion entrepreneur, one of the founders of the London fashion boutique, Dandie Fashions.[1]

Dandie Fashions founded by Winterbotham and Tara Browne, an heir to the Guinness fortune, opened at 161 King's Road in November 1966. Browne died in a car crash the following month.[2]

Winterbotham was also responsible, with Dave Howson, for the management of the Middle Earth club, an early hippie music venue in London.[3]

Neil Winterbottom's name is sytematically misspelt in this little article. He attended Westminster School and came from an aristocratic family. Photographs of Neil in dandy-style fashions in 1967 may be found online and held by Getty Images. Most of them were originally taken for an article in Life magazine featuring King's Road fashions, in 1967. Sadly he died in 2019.
