Known for making an entrance and leaving a lasting impression, Saun turned a penchant for fashion into a successful brand, “Fashionable Insurance,” adding his own flavor to the otherwise staid insurance scene. “My name is Saun Lightbourne, but nobody calls me Saun Lightbourne. Everyone calls me fashionable insurance,” he said. Beset in Burberry plaid and a Karl Lagerfeld pinstripe, Saun’s statement making style reflects his larger-than-life aura, filling any room with the authoritative poise and essence of a trendsetter.
Born in a three-piece suit, fashion was in the Lightbourne family DNA. Saun’s earliest memories in his native Bahamas included his parents’ abundant sense of style, consisting of an expansive wardrobe of thousands of bespoke suits and tailored ensembles. His first custom suit was at the ripe age of 5, laying the foundation for a sharp sense of style and attention to detail in fashion and in business. Whether he is at a cocktail party or chamber board meeting, Saun commands a room with a style that opens doors, creates lasting opportunities, and leaves a lasting impact on those around him.
Quipped with a custom style, Saun uses a similar approach to create custom solutions for clients to meet their insurance needs, with his love for people at the center of his practice. For Saun, the effort in his work ethic and in his wardrobe go hand in hand, representing his brand everywhere he goes, from casual to upscale in meticulous taste. Saun’s mantra? “Take anything and make it your own. Go bold or go home.” Equipped with a collection of high-end statement pieces ranging across hues, textures, and designers, Saun’s versatility and approach to style and business is more than bold; it’s iconic.
Fashion, like life, is often rewarded with calculated risk. M•I•A’s Best Dressed shoot was Saun’s first time pairing stripes and plaid together, a move motivated by a desire to push the envelope. Not defined by trends or stringent rules in life or in fashion, Sean paves the way for others to be true to themselves, balancing authenticity with ambition. “Continue to be you and do what makes you happy. Nine times out of 10, someone will give you a compliment,” Saun stated.
A man about town, Saun is a beacon of South Florida style, bringing his family’s tradition of excellence in fashion to the forefront with a modern edge and an individual spin. As Saun posed amongst Leonardo Miami’s regal backdrop, he exuded the air of a high-fashion director, serving the “Fashion is Art” style vision, executing the theme with effortless ease. Much like a fashion director, the man behind Fashionable Insurance calls the shots in his business, his brand, and of course, in his style.
