Why the Costumer of ‘The Gilded Age’ Is Being Driven Out of Business
Challenges began for Ms. Uffner in 2006, when the landlord of the building she occupied in Midtown “invited” her, as she put it, to break her lease early. He was selling the building and wanted her out, but moving thousands of racks of clothing was going to be an ordeal. At the same time commercial rents were soaring and the city’s garment industry had all but disappeared, large loft-like spaces given over to corporate offices. Eventually, in 2008, Helen Uffner Vintage Clothing moved to Long Island City, after its proprietress faced fines of $1,000 a day if she did not

Casual look prevails in pandemic’s workplace dress code | News
Once was a time when men wore suits and ties to work and women wore stockings and heels. Enter 2020, when many of us teleworked at home in our sweatpants or pajamas and bunny slippers. We have not yet returned to a post-pandemic normal. But for those who have returned to in-person work, is there a new normal when it comes to work attire?

Does that hoodie channel tech-titan-in-waiting or give off the vibe that you are playing Animal Crossing under your desk during seemingly endless Zoom calls? Jonathan Kewley, who chairs the tech group at law firm Clifford Chance, tells me over Zoom that the pandemic has visibly accelerated the process of wardrobe casualisation, and that the company has embraced it. “When the pandemic happened, some

Balance is a big theme with Victoria Beckham. As a pop star who became a WAG who became a high-fashion designer, her life and work have always been a balancing act of contrasts: the popular and the exclusive, the sexy and the serious, the flamboyant and the sophisticated. It is, in essence, the secret to her success. Like many other brands at this logomanic moment in time, this season Beckham is launching her own monogram.

Capsule wardrobe: A guide to downsizing your closet
If you’re even tangentially interested in fashion, you’ve probably heard of what’s called a capsule wardrobe. At its most basic definition, a capsule wardrobe is an interchangeable set of basic wardrobe staples that you can mix and match to create an (almost) endless supply of outfits. The benefit, of course, is that you have a preselected batch of outfits to choose from, which makes getting ready for work in the morning a cinch. (You’re also less likely to impulse shop if you can’t figure out more than a handful of ways to incorporate it into your existing capsule wardrobe.) “A

Office Attire Trends in 2022
When Arielle Patrick, the chief communications officer at Ariel Investments, began working from home in early 2020 she discovered an appreciation for basic staples. “Before the pandemic, I aimed to wear a different outfit every day,” she says. “Now, I don’t have the time for outfit decision-making because work is ten times more demanding than it ever was. I guess you could call that ‘decision fatigue.’’’ With the ongoing complications of the pandemic and its attending variants, the return to work looks different for everyone. Some are back to their offices, others are settling in for the latest era of
