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 [...]
In case you missed it between conference calls, the Fashion Weeks are afoot! We’ve been compiling things on the back end to showcase our favorite looks that can indeed go from the runway to the office. And then we came across this email from Spiegel. You can be inspired by the runway, and shop for [...]
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 [...]
Calvin Klein is known for his clean straight lines and simple yet very high quality clothing. He changed things up a bit for his Fall 2010 collection. Alongside the clean straight lines, Klein featured a type of starched billow sleeve that added a dimension to his usually straight-forward attire. One of my very first pieces [...]
We saw a lot of black come down the runway during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Designer Ralph Lauren decided to veer away from that note and give us browns, grays and florals – I have to say it was a very lovely look for the fall. Big shoulders were also very prominent with the deep velvet [...]
Brian Reyes worked absolute wonders with taking the simple top and skirt and turning it into a fabulous fashion statement. I love how he constructed the folds of his skirts to lie on top of one another without creating too much volume and instead create a very architectural design that doesn’t overpower a simple top [...]
There’s something to be said for the color of ‘camel’. It’s very glamorous and goes with just as much variety of color and accessory as does black. I haven’t seen much of it during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week as most of the designers have stuck with the darker classic, however it definitely dominated the runway at [...]
