For those of you new to Blues & Browns, firstly welcome, it's lovely to have you here!  I'm Kairen Alexis Ruse and I have a simple philosophy:

"To create beautifully tailored clothes which harmonise and compliment the female silhouette regardless of her age" 

I started my career as an actress, following in the footsteps of my musician Grandfather and Great Aunt Olivia de Havilland. Following television work, I progressed to the theatre and it was here surrounded by 'the smell of greasepaint and the roar of the crowd' I fell in love with all aspects of the wardrobe department and my passion for costume dressing was born.  

When I retired from theatrical life, I worked with Sir Jackie Stewart at his shooting school at Gleneagles and it was here I learned about retailing Country tweeds and sporting clothing.  Armed with this knowledge and a passion for fashion and textiles, Blues & Browns was born in 2002.

​And the rest, as they say, is history!
