Lorna Jane Clarkson
Lorna Jane Clarkson is an iconic Australian entrepreneur, fashion designer, author and well-regarded advocate for women’s health and wellbeing.
Credited for creating the Activewear category as we know it today, Lorna has spent three decades learning, evolving, listening and leading the way in design innovation and the normalisation of wearing activewear everywhere.
“I started designing activewear because I wanted to change the way women lived their lives, and I’ve seen first hand how the simple act of putting your activewear on in the morning can change how you live your day, your week and ultimately your life”
The iconic sustainability business partner Nicole Conroy, KMD Brands Head of ESG Shasta O'Loughlin, and founder of her eponymous label Lorna Jane share the steps in signing up to Seamless - the new clothing stewardship scheme.
At Lorna Jane, we aspire to empower women, transform the world. That's why we've decided to collaborate with a chosen charity that holds a special place in our hearts.
Lorna Jane Clarkson founded her eponymous activewear brand in 1989 – now, her distinctive workout gear can be seen in stores, on gym-goers or worn as casual wear around the world.
Thirty-five years on, Clarkson remains determined to set trends, rather than follow them. As for coming up with the term “activewear” itself? “If I’d thought I was coining a new phrase, I would have been a bit more imaginative,” she said.
