In With The New Lisa Armstrong Head of Fashion at The Telegraph
Sticking forever with a beloved dress-for-success formula is not an option any more than hanging on to the same software or phone. Politics change in the office ecosystem just as much as they do outside. Our clothes need to reflect that, or we end up looking out of touch. You want a streamlined, flexible capsule that takes you into the evening, to parties and weddings...work is no longer a compartmentalised room we visit 9-5 but the open-plan layout of our lives. Amidst the efficient aura of organisation we all want to project, we shouldn’t lose our sense of self, nor the fact that being a bit playful and glamorous doesn’t undermine our gravitas but rounds out whatever image we’re projecting. The clothes we wear to navigate that space deserve all the attention we can give them. They’ll pay us back in a hundred different ways.

Lead the Way Introducing The Fold’s debut shoe collection, made in Italy from premium materials for comfort without compromise. A great pair of shoes brings confidence and joy with every wear. This luxurious new collection puts style, quality and comfort highest on the agenda. Discover sophisticated flats, boots and mid-heeled pumps, all made in Italy using the finest craftsmanship and materials. In their journey from sketch to shoe each style will have passed through the hands of a dozen skilled artisans to achieve their striking architectural finish. We’ve sourced sumptuous velvets, soft suedes, immaculate calf hair and snake-embossed leather from the best in the business to craft each shoe. Comfort is crucial to dressing with confidence, so we’ve added extra padding under the ball of the foot, under the toes and in the heel.
