The Australian fashion designer, widely recognized for co-founding the iconic label Sass & Bide alongside Sarah-Jane Clarke, has made a lasting mark on the global fashion scene. Over the years, her designs have graced high-profile figures such as Kendall Jenner, Margot Robbie, and Sarah Jessica Parker—proof of her influence and creative vision. This same designer later launched Art Club, a thoughtful clothing brand rooted in the principles of slow fashion. With sustainability at its core, Art Club is dedicated to crafting timeless pieces meant to be worn, loved, and passed down for years to come.
Before rising to fame, she pursued a formal education in Commercial Art at Queensland College of Art, laying the foundation for her future success. In 2003, she married Nicholas Plowman, and together they built a life centered around family, raising two daughters named Elka and India. Though their journey took a turn when she announced their separation in 2017, she continued moving forward with resilience. By 2021, she found new love and joy, marrying property developer Michael Malouf. Through every chapter, the designer has remained a symbol of creativity, strength, and purpose-driven fashion.
Her company operates a hidden gem of a private villa in Sydney, known as Porta Rossa. The brand is all about sustainability, crafting its garments from existing deadstock fabrics. She proudly displays her creative work on the heidimiddletonartclub Instagram page, which has attracted a following of 40,000 people who love her unique style and eco-conscious approach. It’s no surprise that her company continues to grow, drawing attention for both its artistic vision and commitment to responsible fashion.
