Within the top name German fashion artists of today you will find garments of a classic traditional style as well as a very off the wall variety of clothing.

The fall fashion trends are in. What are the hottest looks for fall? From Gucci to Prada, there are bizarre shaggy coats, and color-blocked toeless socks; perilously low-cut white tuxedo jackets and four-inch-high patent leather oxford pumps. And don’t forget the impractical shade of sky blue for coats, bags and furs, and multi-colored shoes that look like building-block toys.

Women have it tough. The latest styles on the runway usually don’t translate well to the boardroom or the cubicle, and we risk looking unprofessional. If our image doesn’t inspire confidence and credibility, we risk not getting the promotion we deserve, or the client or contract we want.

So how do we interpret the current trends without becoming a fashion victim? Here are some tips that take you from the runway to the cubical.

Dress for your industry. If you are in advertising, the fashion industry, or a business where your style is noticed, you are more open to adapting the trends to your personal style. If you are in a conservative industry such as financial services or healthcare, you need to adapt the styles to your office. Remember that business is still conservative.

Take your cues from above. Look at what your boss or manager are wearing. Look at what the men in your office are wearing. Can you picture them wearing plaid knickers or red toeless socks? If you are serious about your career, you need to dress for the workplace, not for the runway. Weiterlesen »

The Coach brand, familiar isn’t it? You might have encountered the brand name in various boutiques, shops and malls. Actually, it has been around for a while, for more than 60 years in fact. The brand had its humble beginnings in a small Manhattan loft way back in 1941. The now popular trademark started from a small family-run business.
