st. john

Founded in 1962 by former model Marie Gray and her husband Robert Gray, St. John is an American luxury fashion house built on the foundation of a single, elegant knit dress. From its Southern California origins, the brand established a reputation for its unique, high-quality knitwear, particularly its proprietary Santana yarn—a resilient blend of wool and rayon. The brand’s signature pieces include tailored knit jackets and matching sets, which became a uniform for powerful and affluent women, including figures like Hillary Clinton. St. John’s dedication to craftsmanship is evident in its vertically integrated process, where the company dyes its own yarns and creates its fabrics in-house, ensuring meticulous quality control and longevity in its garments.
