My MUSE | Sarah Jane Clarke

Hi everyone, Olivia here to introduce this week’s My MUSE: designer Sarah-Jane Clarke, founder of the eponymous label we know and love.

 

What we love about Sarah-Jane is her perspective on both fashion and life. She speaks about getting older with a real sense of freedom, knowing what matters, trusting your instincts and making space for the things that bring you joy. That philosophy carries through to her designs, which are made to help women feel good in what they wear and get on with living. We’re delighted to have her latest collection at MUSE, including her beautiful fringe sets, which she says make her feel like she’s on holiday.

 

I caught up with Sarah-Jane to talk about returning to fashion, finding a more considered pace, the inspiration behind her label, personal style, travel and the little things she’s loving right now.

She’s passionate and engaging, with a penchant for DIY. Determined and ambitious, with an inherent appreciation for beauty. Easy-going and inspiring, with a modern, understated style.
