Masterclass with Jade Robertson

Jade Robertson is the co-founder and creative director of Little Lies, an independent Scottish retailer based in Perthshire. Known for its distinctive, 70s music-scene-inspired fashion, the brand operates globally from its Glencarse headquarters.

Jade and her husband Stuart started the business in 2015 from a bedroom in their former Kirkcaldy home. After growing into a city centre store in Dundee, Little Lies transitioned to an online-only model, experiencing significant expansion in 2020.

Now 34, Jade is leading the development of exclusive in-house designs, with one of their dresses spotted on global superstar Taylor Swift in New York in early 2024.

Showing that entrepreneurship can arise from any subject or profession, we host a Masterclasses within the University every academic year. Tickets are always free and open to anyone, within and out of the University.

Our speakers tell us about their experiences along their career paths but also angle their Masterclass towards a specific area of their success to give the audience key takeaways and greater insight. With every Masterclass, there's always time to ask any burning questions and often chances to network once the talk is finished.
