About me

I love to re-imagine fantastical landscapes and create an illustrative wonderland. My compositions are inspired by my travels around the world and an obsession with colour. This, combined with living in a Regency seaside city in England, has given me a unique set of influences to draw from.

Owner/DesignerSarah Arnett
Apr 2000Brighton, United KingdomFull Time
For ten years, I designed my women's wear collection and was selling in over 100 luxury stores worldwide. In 2007 I was awarded the UK Fashion Export Award for Womenswear, and my lifestyle brand collaboration, Modern Love was showcased by Liberty of London as one of the first 'Best of British' labels. I work in a range of mediums, including hand painting, photography and illustration. I love creating endless ingredients to compose into collage and on a variety of printed surfaces using textiles, paper, lacquered wood and concrete. The process of design is incredibly important to me, and I'm continually experimenting with new ways to evolve my practice. My designs and bespoke pieces are brought to life in my Brighton studio. In the last few years, I've moved my signature style of elegant beauty into areas outside the fashion industry to explore a broader creative process. As well as my design brand, my portfolio also includes a licensed wallpaper collection for TEKTURA and Robin Sprong, bespoke engineered wallpapers for The Science Museum, public space commissions, and collaborations over the years with such brands as Dior, Escada, American Express and Liberty of London. If you'd like to find out more about me and my work or if you'd like to discuss a collaboration or commission, please get in touch.
