Sarah Brown

About

An accomplished fashion and technical designer with over 12 years of experience in the apparel industry. I've worked with renowned brands like Southern Tide and Kenny Flowers, providing expertise in design, trend analysis, fabric development, and technical design. I also have my own women's contemporary brand, Sarah Alexis, that I launched in 2023. When I'm not working, I'm likely in the waves at the beach or dying in a pilates class.
