SHAUN LEANE
Shaun Leane started his career training in London’s Hatton Garden. While working as a goldsmith, he began a long-standing collaboration with the late Alexander McQueen, creating provocative catwalk jewels that have become iconic milestones in the art of couture jewellery. This high-profile collaboration acted as a catalyst to Leane’s burgeoning desire to blend technical perfection with creative freedom, and in 1999 he launched the first collections under the house of Shaun Leane. He has worked on one-of-a-kind projects with artists including Damien Hirst, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Givenchy and Parisian master jeweller Boucheron, among others. Leane has also produced bespoke pieces for beacons of the fashion industry, including legendary houses Alexander McQueen and Givenchy, as well as style icons the Honourable Daphne Guinness, Isabella Blow and Sarah Jessica Parker. His jewels are now sought after by tastemakers, royals and prominent jewellery collectors from around the world. July 2018 saw Leane’s first move into the architecture and public art realms, with the opening of the 21 Young Street apartment building in Kensington, since then the V&A has acquired a portion of the metalwork for permanent display. With his work also on display in the Jewellery and Fashion Galleries, Leane is one of the few designers to be represented across multiple departments in one of the world’s most revered museums.
