About

We want to help people heal from sexual violence.

Please consider helping by donating to WOAR or to Sarah Tremain directly to build an app to connect female-identifying people to healing services.

Sarah Tremain is a sustainable fashion design brand looking to provide high-quality, artistic-influenced clothing that also supports healing for people. 

Sarah Tremain is a brand that is all about using art as fashion in a very literal sense. I was inspired by the depth of the paintings that I watched my mother make and I knew that I wanted to use them in a way they had not been seen before. I take images of encaustic paintings done by my mother Tremain Smith and I redesign them into prints that are then digitally printed and used to make unique pieces of clothing. This allows me to create unique and beautiful clothing that is attractive to a wide range of people. 

Emotion is a huge part of my designs as it is something that people experience every day, and fashion depends on how a person feels when wearing a garment.  Fashion design is a form of expression for me, a way for me to communicate and inspire others to see the beauty I see in the world. I found my love of beauty early on; when I was a child, I would dress up in an attempt to feel beautiful no matter what I did.  As I got older, I studied the arts as a way to better understand what a wider definition of beauty is.

It is also important to me that Sarah Tremain benefits other people. I want to build this brand around the idea that everyone is healing and deserves to be able to have access to what they need to heal. That is why currently a portion of my profits when I sell a piece gets donated to WOAR, a nonprofit in Philadelphia dedicated to ending sexual violence. I want there to be a line of communication open between me and my customers and the audience so that they know that what we’re building together will help the world be a better place.
