Rachel Carruthers Donny born and bred, designer Jade Clark has been building quite a name for herself over the past two years. After graduating from De Montford University in 2012, Jade has quickly been recognised as a rising star by such prestigious publications as Vogue and Vice, featuring pieces from her Badman graduate collection. She’s also big in Asia, unsurprisingly, with her signature holographic prints and cute pastel palette. Drawing on her surroundings, her work is heavily influenced by the grim streets of the North and the sportswear clad locals that walk them. I caught up with her recently to find out what influences her, where she’s headed and how being northern has created her distinctive style.
