Career

Editorial work

Clark interned for Interview Magazine as a teenager before moving to Vogue UK.

Clark founded fashion magazine Lula in 2005. Clark credited her creation of Lula with her frustration with the sexualization of women in fashion magazines, wanting instead to make "a magazine of women looking at women, without that competitiveness and that hard edge that we think we need as we get older."[3]

In 2013 Clark announced that she was resigning as Lula's editor-in-chief. Instead she was leaving to create a new type of magazine for older women. That project would be Violet Book, which Clark launched in 2014. Clark admitted in an interview that the magazine was inspired by "the way youth is over-celebrated."[4]

Clark has been the Style Director At Large of Harper’s Bazaar UK since 2014 styling many of their covers including Felicity Jones, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley.

Clark also works as a celebrity stylist counting among her current clients Keira Knightley, Felicity Jones, and Zoe Kazan. Her past clients include Michelle Williams and Emily Mortimer. In 2017 The Hollywood Reporter included her in their list of The 25 Most Powerful Stylists in Hollywood.[5]

Personal life

Clark is married to production designer James Hatt whom she wed in 2012.[6] Among her bridesmaids were actresses Keira Knightley and Kirsten Dunst.[7] Together they have a daughter Astrid, born in 2014.[8]
