the story behind the fold

the fold woman In honour of our inspiring customers we have created The Fold Woman, profiling extraordinary women and their tips for success.

How important is it for women to dress well for work?

You need to look the part for your next step on the career ladder. In other words, dress upwards but don’t confuse this with dressing up. My advice would be; find a signature look that complements your body shape, try not to have a look that’s too fussy (but you don’t need to dress like a man-in-a-skirt), invest in good accessories that say “quality”, make sure you can walk with confidence in your shoes and that you can sit down in any skirt/dress.

Gwen Rhys Founder & CEO, Women in the City CEO, Networking Culture Limited

Polly McMaster is the co-founder behind The Fold. A successful business woman, whose love of fashion was the inspiration to create a chic new brand for professional women. Polly comes from the competitive world of consulting and finance, with a Cambridge PhD in Molecular Biology and an MBA at London Business School.

In July 2013, Management Today voted Polly one of ‘35 Women Under 35’.

thefoldlondon.com

It is really important to be mindful of dressing according to the culture of the business you are in. I would always err on the side of smartness, whether that is jeans, jacket and heels for a more laid back business, or a suit/dress for a more corporate environment.

“Looking as smart as a man in his bespoke suit gives a woman the same level of confidence and gravitas at work. The idea for The Fold came out of that need and we really believe that being serious about work shouldn’t compete with being interested in fashion. The Fold is about understanding the professional woman’s needs in her daily life and trying to create a stylish, contemporary wardrobe for them, but particularly focused around work. To this end, we are building a brand in our own right based on our label and designs.”

Catherine Kennard managing director, Lovework

I really think that what you wear puts you in a certain mood. If I’m making a speech or presentation I would always wear something which I feel smart and comfy in – so I can focus on getting my words right rather than tugging at my clothes or feeling self-conscious which is distracting all round.
