SYDNEY, Australia — The Australian creative and fashion communities are mourning the loss of an iconic visionary, Jan Logan, the founder and namesake of the celebrated jewellery brand, who passed away peacefully in Sydney surrounded by her loving family. Her passing marks the end of a remarkable life that redefined Australian elegance and proved that profound professional success can begin at any age.
Jan Logan’s journey from a rural upbringing on a farm in Narrabri, New South Wales, to the pinnacle of Australian design is the stuff of legend. The pragmatism, strong work ethic, and indomitable spirit fostered in the country became the foundation of her global brand. Demonstrating extraordinary courage and vision, she launched her jewellery business in 1989 at the age of 50, a professional reinvention that would inspire countless others.
“Jan proved that vision and determination know no age,” a longtime colleague in the fashion industry noted. “Her story is a powerful testament to imagination and perseverance.”
A Legacy of Timeless, Wearable Art
Jan Logan’s designs quickly earned a devoted following for their signature blend of classic sophistication and contemporary flair. Her work was distinguished by an unwavering commitment to quality, wearability, and timelessness. She believed jewellery marked life’s most meaningful moments and was meant to be cherished and passed down, making each piece a narrative of love, celebration, and legacy.
Beyond the brilliance of her creations, Jan Logan was beloved for her warmth and generous spirit. She infused her boutiques with impeccable style and a welcoming atmosphere, treasuring the deep relationships she built with clients, staff, and peers as much as her creative achievements.
As a mentor and matriarch of the industry, her influence extended far beyond jewellery, shaping Australian fashion and design for decades. While her physical presence is deeply missed, her extraordinary legacy endures through the enduring beauty she created, the countless people she inspired, and the timeless stories her designs will continue to tell for generations to come.
