Lorna Watson is the Founder and Creative Director of STELAR, an award-winning B Corp luxury accessories brand preserving heritage craftsmanship while creating sustainable livelihoods and circular solutions across Indonesia.
With more than 25 years' experience in the luxury goods industry, Lorna founded STELAR to help preserve heritage skills and ancestral wisdom through a future-focused business that delivers meaningful social and environmental impact. Working directly with artisan communities rather than factories, STELAR transforms traditional craft techniques into contemporary collections for discerning global consumers and leading hospitality brands.
Today, Lorna is increasingly focused on helping the hospitality industry rethink waste through circular design—transforming discarded hotel materials into beautifully crafted products that create new income opportunities for artisan communities while reducing environmental impact.
Recognised as a leader in purpose-driven business, STELAR received the Singapore Fashion Council IMPACT Award in 2025, and Lorna has been invited to join the judging panel for the Council's 2026 IMPACT Awards.
Lorna is passionate about building commercially viable models that demonstrate how circular design, meaningful impact and commercial success can coexist, placing people, culture and the planet at the heart of sustainable growth.
