Suits!

Confession: One of the things that drew me to the legal profession was the attire.  I admit it: I love suits.  I'm a suit-a-holic.  I crave an amazingly tailored women's suit.  I can't walk past Brooks Brothers without getting a little excited.  I just read this article at instyle.com about Victoria Beckham adding "tailoring" to her fashion line and got inordinately happy.  Here are some highlights from the article:

Lately Victoria Beckham has traded her favorite day dresses in for tailored suits on the red carpet, and now we’ve got the inside scoop on why:  “I’ve started a capsule collection of tailoring."

“Coming from London, I looked at Savile Row with stars in my eyes. And so I worked with a men’s tailor in Savile Row.  [Tailoring] is about structure, getting the right shoulder and right waist. Everything is handmade and super flattering. It’s been a tricky thing to do, but a lot of fun.”

I'm sure that I won't be purchasing one of Ms. Beckham's suits, BUT I can't wait to see what she does with the classic lines and tailoring of women's suiting!
