Globetrotting CEO Develops Ready To Wear Line For Female Business Execs

Introducing Lindsay Nicholas New York, an empowering female RTW line, created out of necessity for power women, by none other than a power woman.

Nicholas, the designer, found a gap in the market for stylish pieces that were instantly put together and effortless to wear. Female executives and powerhouses’ closets craved comfort, while their lifestyles demanded convenience. Their careers dictate professionalism, but personalities insisted on creativity. Lindsay developed a priceless solution that could fit any career, any season and any woman who wants to wear confidence while she takes on the world, simultaneously paying attention to detail, cut and quality of fabric.

While having a career in marketing, Lindsay Nicholas traveled extensively and craved clothing that would take her from work-to-play, day-to-night, between coasts and hemispheres, all while offering effortless-cool style. Lindsay knew she wasn’t alone in requiring modern basics that live outside of the seasons to suit this global lifestyle. It was this, coupled with an obsession for fashion, which inspired her to begin Lindsay Nicholas New York.

Nicholas states, “I needed clothes that would take me from summer to winter by simply changing out a strappy sandal for a knee boot and adding a jacket to a sleeveless shell. I might also have work meetings all day, but also a weekend where I needed to stay over for the next week of work. I wanted clothes that were simple and created a palette for me to create super stylish outfits. I wanted to be that woman I would see in the airport lounge that just had it all going on. Incredible style that could go from the boardroom to being comfortable enough to travel in.

I created Lindsay Nicholas New York to address the wardrobe needs of the creative professional who, like me, insists on defining her own dress code.

We want to reinvigorate the definition of modern dress. Our pieces are meant to be loved and not thrown away at the end of the season. These are pieces that stay in your wardrobe year after year, and while the way you style them may change, the pieces themselves are timeless.”

Interestingly enough, Lindsay is also an image consultant, and purposely built the collection to be flattering and solve problems. Nicholas also has a team of mostly women at the company. Two of the signature pieces are The Perfect Dress, which comes in two lengths, so you can wear it right away. The other signature piece is the M.I.N.Y. Pants ™ shorts (MINY stands for Made in New York). They come in a Boxer Fit and a Trouser Fit (including a Skinny MINY, which is great for women with svelte thighs).
