She introduced the Scandinavian labels In Wear and Laize Adzer to the UK market and in 1978 established her own sportswear lin MIZ.
In 1985 she and designer Katharine Hamnett, gave her new company it's name, Ghost. The name stems from a remark that "it doesn't stand a ghost of a chance." She now runs her million-pound empire which has turned into a high-status label before her very eyes. Tanya designs the hugely successful line of summer dresses which Marks and Spencer sells.
Ghost makes loose, flowing separates that can be added to each season. Made from woven viscose yarns, the clothes are designed before dyeing and are cut larger to allow for the shrinkage process. The result is a vintage crepe-type fabric. Many of the clothes have elasticated waists. Long waistcoats, trousers with wide and narrow legs, tunics and A-line skirts, are all popular Ghost pieces.
