We're giving you a peak behind the scenes at Joanie HQ with our Staff Picks series! Next up is Claire, our Assistant Product Developer - read on to find out more about her job and the Joanie pieces she's loving right now...

We devised this series to give you a glimpse into daily life at the Joanie office, and the brilliant individuals that make up our small and passionate team! Find out about the people behind our brand, their roles at Joanie, and the pieces they’re currently coveting from our collection.

Meet Claire, Assistant Product Developer

Tell us about your role at Joanie - what does a typical day look like and what’s the best bit about your job?

I am an Assistant Product Developer, so I get a sneak peek of all our products before they are live whilst we work on the fit of them in the development stage. I quality check these to make sure they are ready for production!

Who is your style icon?

Fearne Cotton is definitely my style icon - I love how she wears vintage with modern styling and fun prints and sparkles.

What are you watching or reading at the moment – do you have any recommendations?

I love cooking, so my go-to is Masterchef - I enjoy watching delicious food being made and gaining some recipes along the way.

How would you define your personal style?

My style changes all the time! I take inspiration from vintage styling and then build my wardrobe by thrifting. I love the detailing of a vintage shirt with beautiful embroidery or an incredible collar, but I also love my sweatshirts and trusty mom jeans!

Staff Picks: Claire's Favourites

This is really difficult because there are so many lovely pieces to choose from!

I love this T-shirt! It’s such a staple piece I can wear anywhere and style with jeans and still feel made up. The fabric is so soft, and it’s the comfiest oversized fit. 

I am obsessed with gingham so naturally love this blazer. I would wear it with all black underneath to keep it as the statement of the outfit and my Dr Martens for day-to-night styling. 

Dungarees for me are such an all-rounder. I wear them in winter with long sleeves and layer up and in summer without a jacket and a cute tee underneath. 

This would be my go-to for afternoon tea! The print and vintage detailing with the frill sleeves and pleating are so lovely. I would style it with some comfy pumps (I’m not a heels girly) and a cute pastel cardigan.

This is on my list for a summer wedding I’m attending. The colour is stunning, and it’s such a lovely fabric feel.
