Ever wonder what to wear when you get late 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond? Or perhaps you are just looking for sophisticated attire for a high-powered business event. Women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Brooke Shields, Susan Sarandon and even politico Condoleezza Rice turn to designer label Akris for their sleek and powerful designs.
But power comes with a price. According to a New York Times article today, a mere jacket sells for $4,000 – even in this sluggish market. And a gown retails for a whopping $9,950. I suppose modern, innovative, career styles don’t come cheap. And the women buying the fashions aren’t looking for inexpensive. They are looking for designs specifically for them and not their more youthful counterparts. It’s where maturity meets sleek, instead of youth meets flirty.
I’m definitely impressed. I know whom to call when I am finally on-air broadcasting about the day’s news and politics. You can bet I’ll be wearing Akris or wishing that I was.
Smooches,
