Jean Elizabeth MUIR (1928 –1995) was a British fashion designer. She didn't have formal art college training, but due she had a stockroom job at Liberty & Co in 1950, she get the opportunity to sketch in Liberty's ready to wear department. Her first design label "Jane & Jane" she launched in 1962. For the dress in printed Liberty silk from Jane & Jane collection Jean MUIR won the first of her three Dress Of The Year awards in 1964, this model became part of the Dress Of The Year collection at the Fashion Museum in Bath. In 1966 she sold Jane & Jane brand to the ready-to-wear fashion house Susan Smallo and launched with her husband Harry LEUCKERT the new company Jean Muir Ltd. In this brand MUIR worked with silk, cashmere, jersey and crepe, with a focus on form and fluidity. She made coats and jackets from soft leather and supple suede, rarely used printed textiles, and avoided unnecessary decoration, except pintucking, decorative but functional buttons or rows of parallel topstitching on cuffs or collars for reinforcement. She won the Dress Of The Year award two more times: In 1968 for a ruffled white voile dress with black polka dots; and in 1979 for an ensemble of a black rayon jersey beret and dress worn with a black leather jacket. Both models are also kept in the Bath museum. Jean MUIR died in 1995, and in 2005, Harry LEUCKERT donated Jean MUIR's archive collection to the National Museums of Scotland. Her brand continues to this day.
