Since my adolescence I have admired the clothing of Ralph Lauren. To me, Polo was always cut above the rest. And although I’ve become more frugal and less concerned about what brands I wear I still so appreciate their ongoing commitment to their craft in both style and quality. So you can only imagine my excitement as I traveled to Connecticut to meet one of Polo’s top former designers who launched many lines in apparel and even home décor.
Although Susan-Jayne was eager to answer all my Ralph Lauren questions, it was her infectious laughter and joy that drew me into the heart of her work as a master craftsman. Beyond the world of named brands and the international success she had achieved, Susan-Jayne’s creative genius and skill could only be fully understood through her truest calling as a wife and mother. With such sobriety, simplicity and humility it’s no wonder her faith and work are thriving. I knew this was going to be an amazing story!
As two people deeply devoted to our artistic-based trades, I most especially enjoyed my time with Susan-Jayne in talking about marriage, parenting and faith. Her childlike disposition without question has allowed her to put her fears aside and remain open to God’s guidance. How infectious and so needed today! I partnered with the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception to produce this story for their EWTN show, Living Divine Mercy available at: DivineMercyPlus.org.
I’m so grateful to have been able to tell her story. Sacra Indumenta, this amazing company she’s now at the helm of, is truly a microcosm of her sincere and faith-filled heart as a wife, mother and servant of Our Blessed Lord. It’s said that beauty will save the world and with Susan-Jayne’s ‘sacred coverings’ I believe this to be true!
