Jade Sarita Arnott, Designer

Jade Sarita Arnott first founded fashion label Arnsdorf in 2006, relocating it from her hometown of Melbourne to New York. It was a success, showing at fashion week, featuring in the pages of Vogue and worn by Cate Blanchett. But after moving back to Melbourne, taking some time off, and growing her young family, Arnott felt that if and when she reentered the fashion industry, she wanted to do it on her terms, upholding her values, and disrupting a wasteful and oversaturated paradigm in the process.

She set out to explore her interest in production transparency, ethics and the environment as much as her background in sculpture, photography and art history, which has always inspired her designs. The result is a quiet but statement-making new direction—eschewing traditional wholesaling and retail to create new ways of connecting directly with women, and doing away with traditional seasons and the prolonged cycles of waste that follow. Everything is made in Arnsdorf’s Collingwood factory and customers can clearly see who produced each garment and at what cost. You can even have your measurements taken for a bespoke experience.

It’s an ethos that attracts us to Arnott, and one that we share: at Sans [ceuticals] we aim to disrupt the beauty industry, creating a minimalist, multifunctional collection of products, made in small batches with full ingredient transparency and sustainable packaging and practices. So, of course we couldn’t wait to learn the rituals that shape Arnott’s days. Without further ado…
