She apprenticed as a designer at Jaeger Ltd. (1956-62) and Jane & Jane (1962-66) before she started her own label in 1967. Using such soft fabrics as jersey, crepe, suede, and cashmere, Muir paid minute attention to detail, a hallmark of her excellent craftsmanship. Her designs, which emphasized perfect tailoring, featured graceful shapes that flattered almost any woman’s silhouette. Her creations proved to be equally successful in the "swinging ’60s" and the more conservative ’80s
