A short and sweet post to end this week of BusinessChic to show how colour blocking completely lifts a work ensemble. Do it, in blue! Just a heads up that while my LBD project posts will go live on Sunday as always – I’m going to take a break from blogging. I’ve been blogging daily [...]

Sydney and thoughts on work place dress codes

May 15, 2012 Contemporary business wear

Another post from sunshine-y Sydney! As much as I love Sydney, I always feel a little disoriented and find myself slinking into laneways that remind me of Melbourne. I was in one such laneway waiting for coffee when I spied Laura’s fresh and fab dress from Cue brightening up the laneway and dashed out to [...]

A tailor-made suit in Sydney

May 14, 2012 Autumn

Greetings BusiChic, I hope that you had a great weekend! From the low temperatures and heavy downpours we had down here in Melbourne, I think it’s safe to say that the cold has set in! Normally, I’d like to match the style I feature here to the weather, however I am having to find a [...]

Photographer chic at MBFWA

May 10, 2012 Australian Fashion Week (MBFWA)

Dearest BusiChic, While attending fashion shows might sound glamorous, the truth is that folks like me are in the less glam position of sitting in the media riser. Wait that sounds too kushy – usually the photographers are sandwiched together, some even kneeling throughout whole shows in order to get the best shots of models [...]

Do you work in a casual environment and want to lift your style up a notch? or perhaps you work in a rather sartorially-savvy one but wish to put some chillax into gear? At the business end of RAFW we spotted this gent who provides inspiration for those in either camp. On the casual side [...]

A side of menswear at RAFW

May 17, 2011 2011

So we are back to RAFW where some have commented on the lack of menswear on the runways. Thankfully for BusiChic, we spotted many a stylish gentleman working it off the runway like today’s spiffy Polished suit. Sharply-tailored for all occasions, it is its styling with a skinny tie that makes this suit “Polished” rather [...]

Streetpeeper at RAFW

May 13, 2011 2011

This week’s final spotty of workwear inspiration belongs to Phil Oh – the streetstyle photographer known as Streetpeeper. In Sydney to photograph RAFW streetstyle for Harpers Bazaar, we loved Phil’s creative take on Smart Casual. From his shirt/vest/blazer combo in matchy-match hues but tongue-in-cheek clashing patterns to a pair of red spotted socks peeping out from [...]
