With McQueen as his early patron and champion, Leane would go on to establish his own reputation amongst the fashion and jewelry industries. He founded his eponymous label, the House of Shaun Leane, in 1999 and continued to imbue his inimitable aesthetic throughout his incredible breadth of work. Leane’s jewelry has since been acquired for the permanent collections of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, among others. His designs have been worn by the likes of the Honourable Daphne Guinness, Sir Elton John, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker and many others. Most recently, he was the recipient of the 2016 UK Fine Jewellery Brand of the Year Award, the 2016/17 CoolBrands® Award, and the 2015 Andrea Palladio International Jewellery Award for Best International Jewellery Designer.
