Tailored to succeed

It is a style women always go for - smart, wearable clothes that work for them. For the successful look nothing beats a softly tailored suit with clean sleek lines that can be dressed up or down with accessories. Others opt for the ease of non-crease fabrics in soft flowing co-ordinates or the casual elegance of shirts worn with long vests and wrap-over skirts.

Here, three top local designers demonstrate the Nineties alternative to the power suit for this spring/summer.
