A few months ago, I was asked by a professor at the College of Dupage if I would be interested in TheWorkingWardrobe being a project for his class. My response, “Of course I would!”. What each student did was take a trend that they saw during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York last month and [...]
Now this is a power suit! For those who love looking back to the era of Diane Keaton circa Annie Hall, this amazing layered look from Richard Chai LOVE takes it to the modern runway…and perhaps to the modern workplace. Always on the lookout for that perfect little black dress? Well my favorite this coming [...]
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is upon us! Therefore our coveted working looks during the runway bonanza will be inspired by those very looks! To kick things off, we have to start with a show-stopping accessory. This adorable yet simple shift dress by Steven Alan is perfect for a business casual day at the office. Add a [...]
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was an amazing experience – and every Fashion Week brings its own surprises and highlights. However this was the final runway shows of Bryant Park and the first day of the shows we received horrifying news of Alexander McQueen’s death. Thus to be said, this was no ordinary Fashion Week.

The high-necked or boatneck zip-front coat has been a strong presence (almost as much as fur) during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

The collection itself also took the stage with the wintry themed snow falling onto the runway during the show, bringing home that [...]
Leave it to Marc Jacobs to cook up something different in the world of fashion. Also leave it to Jacobs to be spot on with just about everything.

Mona Kowalska delivered some gorgeous Parisian farm girl charm to the Fall 2010 Collection of A Détacher. Granted, the term ‘farm girl’ doesn’t usually strike up a chord that says, “I’m fashionable”, however Kowalska showcased a very attractive line that works items alongside one another that you may not have paired together in the first [...]
I felt that Yeohlee Teng brought a bit of schoolgirl into her Fall 2010 Collection for her line Yeohlee showcased during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The patterned dresses and tops and ruffled accents with knee-length skirts all added bounce to her collection; and who doesn’t need some bounce in the cooler months? See more pictures on [...]
Draped scarves and duo-cardigans and long fingerless gloves were just a few creative shifts from the basics that Tracy Reese took with her Fall 2010 Collection that was shown during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Her collection was extremely fun yet still sophisticated – and many of the runway looks could be taken directly to the workplace [...]
If anything, black was definitely not a sign of mourning at the Donna Karan runway show held during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. She also demonstrated that black is also most assuredly not boring. The textures and construction of each item would each cause heads to turn when seen strutting down a sidewalk, or for that matter [...]
