Sarah Jane Nader is on the express track to fame.
Just a few years after moving to NYC to make it in modeling, she’s scored a stint on “Dancing With the Stars,” walked in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show and worked with a slew of major fashion brands. Now, she’s dropping an Express collaboration full of nods to her journey to the Big Apple.
“This collection was inspired by all the different versions of my style and the places that have shaped me,” Nader told Page Six Style of the “cool and effortless” designs.
“Moving [to NYC] definitely made me more fearless with fashion. You’re surrounded by people who wear exactly what they want and don’t over-explain it, and I love that.”
While some of those people are likely in her own family — sister Brooks is one of the most daring dressers in the game — the youngest Nader is also honing a voice and look that’s all her own.
“I’ve had access to incredible clothes and stylists and gotten to try things I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to wear a few years ago,” she said. “It has also made me realize quickly when something isn’t me. Now, I know I’d rather take risks and feel like myself.”
But while her collection is filled with personal touches — including several pieces named after her family members — it’s also extremely wearable for us non-models, too. Scroll on to shop some of the highlights.

While she was hesitant to choose a favorite from her range, Sarah Jane picked this set as her top choice.
“There’s something so sexy about a really tailored, traditionally menswear-inspired look,” she said. “I love that it can feel super polished and put together, but if you loosen the tie, undo a few buttons and mess it up a little, it becomes something completely different.”

She gifted her “DWTS” partner, Hailey Bills, multiple pieces from the collection — including this expensive-looking jacket, which the ballroom pro wore to Express’ launch event. (“She can rock anything,” Nader said.)

While her collection includes styles named after her famous siblings — including this dress for Brooks — Sarah Jane said she didn’t give them many sneak peeks during the design process.
“I wanted to surprise them,” she said. “Seeing them love and wear the pieces now is probably one of my favorite parts, because they each style everything so differently.”
