Read about fashion from all over the world.

Thirty some years later, the boardroom has been replaced by the internet and the socialites have all become housewives national television. So, the shoulder pad is no longer in, and most businesswomen have hung up their Donna Karan suits for a blissful life of motherhood, but all is not lost. The Regan era women is not extinct, she’s still out there, although now, instead of communicating through pager she uses her Blackberry, and she longer has time for leisurely strolls down Madison Avenue, but instead gets her rocks off by ordering pairs of Louboutins online, and having them priority shipped to her, for next day delivery.

So, who are these new women that have taken their place and what are they wearing to the office, these days? She’s perhaps, wearing a utilitarian blouse with men’s dress pants, and she’s no longer intriguied by the 7th Avenue giants, but instead craves something more adventurous. Enter, Young & Restless and their career woman inspired Fall-Winter collection. I love their youthful take on minimalism that they seem to consistently show season after season. Although, they’re still the new kids on the block, their design aesthetic is very old world. It’s easy to see elements of French sensibility, with traditional Asian tailoring in their clothing, creating a seamless cultural marriage.

The theme for their Fall 2011 collection is “Girl Power”, and the brand’s designer, Ashburn Eng was inspired by the androgyny of the modern women, a theme so on trend with fashion’s, current, 90’s revival (see Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2011) So indeed, our working girl has graduated, she’s now looking for pieces that remind her male peers, that although her stock portfolio may be just as big, she’s still the girl next door.
