Margot Robbie perfects business casual in Bottega Veneta

Not only is Margot Robbie perfecting all of her Barbie promo-tour looks, but she’s also winning when it comes to her own personal wardrobe. The actress works closely with her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, who is responsible for her chic aesthetic both on the red carpet and off.

The actress stepped out in New York City ahead of the Gotham Awards yesterday, wearing an autumnal ensemble that quickly caught our eye. Robbie’s Bottega Veneta outfit was a shining example of understated luxury, focusing on key wardrobe classics such as denim, a goes-with-everything shirt and an effortlessly cool oversized blazer.

Building up the shoulderline, suspending things.” But a

Last month we celebrated the 40th anniversary of London Fashion Week. With a technical recession just declared, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt may have other things on his mind — but he should take notice, and not just for style tips.

The UK fashion and textiles industry employs nearly 900,000 people, contributing £62 billion annually to the economy. London Fashion Week alone generates a quarter of a billion pounds. The industry itself dwarfs the automotive industry.

Yet the sector faces seriously challenging conditions.
