Claire Jane Vranian started work in the film industry at the legendary Pinewood Studios and moved to Los Angeles in 1994. She was recruited by ‘Two Hours in the Dark’ a makeup effects/production company. Over the next 17 years she would work on various commercials, television shows, pop promos as well as over 40 motion pictures - working closely with writers, directors, painters, sculptors, actors and artists of every kind. 

Back in 2009, Claire Jane felt the need to express herself creatively with something that was personal to her. After working in such a rich environment of creativity for so many years, along with her life-long love of fashion and music, ICJUK  was born. 

“I feel if you are going to wear accessories, make it count and make a statement! Growing up in England, I was influenced by so many different things--traveling, theatre, films and of course, music. The Royal Wedding was very high fashion and formal and that also inspired me to create more of my hair fascinators, I think it’s imbedded in my British culture!,” - Claire Jane.
