Express x Sarah Jane Nader, available online in limited quantities starting Sept. 23, is the duo’s co-designed clothing collection, combining the sharp tailoring, sexy silhouettes and effortless edge Nader is known for. “As a queer woman, I wanted to celebrate the freedom to dress authentically,” she says of the collection’s intention. “Whether you feel best in a dress or a suit and tie, I want you to put these pieces on, walk into a room and feel confident and in charge.”
