St. John is set apart as a rare icon in the fast-paced fashion world for its stylish, elegant, and exceptionally tailored women's apparel. Trends come and go, but St. John has remained steadfast on its course to provide sophisticated, original, and timeless designs for the modern woman.
Although St. John is known for its revolutionary knitwear, today its 11 divisions provide daytime suits, business attire and spectacular evening ensembles, as well as casual weekend sportswear, footwear, jewelry, eyewear, fragrances and home products that reflect its distinctive image and reputation.
Unlike most apparel companies, St. John owns its factories and produces all components for its core product lines. St. John creates its own designs, twists and dyes the proprietary wool and rayon yarns, knits and finishes the garments and manufactures the hardware, buttons and jewelry in its California facilities. "St. John is not just a fashion company," wrote Vogue Magazine in 1998, "It's a phenomenon."
