“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” As timeless as her collections, Coco Chanel’s fashion advice continues to influence culture and fashion today. As women rise to new heights professionally, we take particular interest in our appearance. Not to minimize our ability and skill, but to accentuate it. What we wear is an extension of who we are and what we believe about ourselves. While confidence cannot be purchased, it can be expressed in the fabric on our backs and the shoes on our feet. As Marilyn Monroe once said, “give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”

Confidence is our uniform. It fortifies and propels us forward. For today’s modern woman is a change agent. She is running a Fortune 500 company and leading in her community. She is raising a family while going back to school. Today’s modern woman has trampled stereotypes and shattered barriers. Confidence is our uniform for success and it is deeply rooted in how we dress.

Dressing impeccably gives no place to discomfort or conformity but makes room for self-expression and transformation. Because when you feel good about how you look and how that look feels on you, your head is lifted and your footing surer, as you stroll in to command the room.

We salute that modern woman today with the launch of Bryla J Couture Clothiers for she has mastered the art of living boldly.
