ART DIRECTOR HASN’T CHANGED HER CLOTHES IN 3 YEARS



Art Director Matilda Kahl would rather spend creative energy on work, not clothes. Which is why her office look hasn’t changed in 3 years. Made hygienically possible through multiple duplicates of a shirt and pants, the choice of a uniform (albeit, a vaguely stylish one) in a creative environment is both ironic and, as Kahl discovered, “provocative”.Catering to the desire to eliminate time spent picking out the best outfit each day – evidently not as ‘stressful’ a process for her male co-workers - can be interpreted as either lazy or genius. Either way, saving time, money and energy, while still looking the part? Not a bad idea.
