A Woman wearing a suit hasn’t always been considered a classy option. Ladies were supposed to look and act feminine, even helpless at times and the wardrobe consisted only of ladylike dresses and skirts. It was first the legendary Coco Chanel who wore trousers and of course gained a lot of criticism with the act. But Coco was never the woman society wanted her to be. She often dressed herself in her boyfriend’s suits and she began to design pants for women to wear while doing sports and other activities. She also is the one who designed horseback riding trousers for women, who had previously ridden in sidesaddle in heavy skirts. And in the end – all the revolutionaries have always been the ones who see the world differently. So we can say she was one of the most influential fashion designers out there and the one we can be thankful for widening our choice of wardrobe essentials. Continue reading “Women in suits” »

What makes working at LGFG different from, say, working at a competitor…
Asked a candidate we were interviewing. I paused before answering because, frankly, it wasn’t going to be the answer she expected. That’s the next thing I said, too, “this won’t be the answer you are expecting.” What do people expect to hear when they ask that question?

What makes an LGFG Clothier Unique to the Industry?
I was recently with a new client in Toronto who asked a compelling question to the two LGFG clothiers sitting in front of him – “does everyone this company hires operate at this level?” Of course we had to ask what he meant. “Well,” said the client, “I’m not used to dealing with clothiers who can speak my language- where did you guys go to school?” It was a huge compliment.
