Shernett Swaby, Designer

The Designer

Shernett Swaby

Shernett designs for women who lead demanding lives - women whose calendars are full and whose standards are high. Her pieces are built for real moments: the board meeting, the gala, the dinner where you need to feel like yourself at your best.

Every SWABY piece begins with her vision - an understanding of fit, proportion, and what makes a woman feel powerful in what she wears. The collection isn't trend-driven; it's designed with intention, produced in limited quantities, and made to last.

"I design pieces I believe in. When you come to the studio, you're not hiring me to dress you - you're seeing my work and deciding if it belongs in your life."

A session with Shernett is an opportunity to experience her collection directly, to understand how each piece was designed, and to find what works for you - your body, your calendar, your way of moving through the world.

From Our Clients

Women Who've Experienced the Collection

Shernett understood exactly what I needed for my Q4 board calendar. Three pieces, done. No wasted time, no second-guessing - just a designer who knows her work and knows what works.

Sarah M.

Managing Partner

I came in overwhelmed with a gala three days away. I left with a piece that felt like it was made for me - because, in a way, it was. The sleeve adjustment made all the difference.

Rebecca L.

Nonprofit Executive

This isn't shopping. It's sitting with the designer and seeing her collection. You understand why each piece exists. That changes how you think about what you're wearing.
