to modern workwear “It’s finally here. This is the moment many of you return to the office. You’re ready to embrace fashion again, have fun with your clothes and make a statement. Whether you’re flexi or full time, we’re here to help you to stand taller, bolder, braver. Get ready to step out and stand out. This is your moment to shine.” Polly McMaster, Founder and CEO, The Fold “We’ll relish in dressing up. We’ll re-learn all that forgotten muscle memory that allows us to walk comfortably on a kitten heel and hold our shoulders back in a boat neck. We’ll take pleasure in each other’s flair for colour and taste for tailored cuts, having spent so much time away from such things. We’ll openly compliment each other rather than eye enviously from afar, fearing lack of professionalism. ‘You look great!’, we’ll say, with delight and affection. ‘You do’.” Shahidha Bari, Professor of Fashion Cultures and Histories, London College of Fashion To read more visit thefoldlondon.com
