Arnsdorf

Jade Sarita Arnott

Based in Melbourne, and created by fashion designer Jade Sarita Arnott the Arnsdorf tale is that of familiar feelings and intimate moments, appropriating the imagery of memories and reinterpreting them through the objectivity of the present.

The collections are about narrative, both experienced and observed. Touching on moments that tell of brief encounters, about truth, fiction and the in between. Arnsdorf always aims to tell a story.

The name Arnsdorf also holds a story personal to the Jade, with her desire to reclaim a former family name lost to her through history.

Heavily inspired by personal stories and intimate moments. Recent collections have referenced the relationship between the garment and its wearer.
Jade’s interest lies in designing garments with the experience of the wearer in mind. Extensive research has gone into the cutting techniques, construction and garment details, which work to flatter the body – inspired by the idea of garments that people can keep forever, pieces that take on new meaning as they age.

From the beginning, Arnsdorf has been built upon a respect for classic and modern archetypal garments. The Trench Coat, Leather Jacket, Cocktail Dress, Jeans, Tailored Pants etc. layer together to serve as costumes for daily life.
