Jean Muir: Easy Going Pieces

Jean Muir was born in 1933 and died in 1995, but her label has outlived her.
Trained within
the industry, Jean Muir worked as sketcher, then at Jaeger and finally for Jane and Jane, until
she established her own label in 1966.
Known for her precision cut and great attention to details, Jean Muir clothes can "stand
alone."
They are usually unadorned.
Though she did not officially invent the little black dress, she brought it to new level.
With signature colors like navy blue and black, Jean Muir
perpetuated the all around use of the "little black dress."
The inheritors of Jean Muir continue to create the signature navy blue and black
dresses.
Easy-going and tailored at the same time, the clothes have a fluidity of movement.
Sexy and chic, and still unadorned, but with the precision cutting and meticulous
attention to detail, its a sure thing for a woman's wardrobe.
The four strong team trained by Miss Muir continue developing her supremely understated,
precise, contemporary style with great sensitivity and skill.
Relaxed glamour and easy,
refined sophistication are the hallmarks of the Jean Muir collection accented with immaculate details.
