i don't know about you but i always totallly stress out over what to wear to a job interview. and since i freelance i meet with potential clients quite often. since i work in fashion it's always such a hard decision whether or not to just dress like i always dress or to somehow customize my outfit to try to fit in with the look of the company that i am meeting with.
sheila hicks wore the suit you see picture above for her interview with florence knoll. you have to love that she made the suit using fabric that she wove herself. sheila did in fact get the job and the pattern from her suit went on to become the basis for her designs for knoll. inca (below) was inspired by sheila's travels in south america.
