Renee Greenstein, founder of Attitudes by Renee, designed Today's Special Value, and I caught up with her to find out about her inspiration and a little bit about the woman behind the fiesty brand...
G: What do you love about designing women's clothing?
R: I love to design comfortable and great fitting clothes - when you feel good you look good… and you have ATTITUDE!
G: Do you have any top style tips for us?
R: My formula is that you are the canvas and your clothes should enhance your beauty.
G: How did you get into fashion design?
R: We all have our childhood dreams and I was lucky enough to be able to live mine. My dreams of the fashion industry led me to New York City where I started my career as a fittings model in the apparel industry.
Countless hours and fittings gave me a front row seat experiencing how designers and patternmakers turn out a product. I took this knowledge and worked all aspects in the industry to hone my skills. It was at this time that I realised a lot of manufacturers were not giving customers what they actually wanted. This idea struck me as extremely profound and became the underlying theme behind my goals in the industry.
G: Describe yourself in three words.
R: Diva with Attitude, confident and spiritual.
G: What inspired you when designing Today's Special Value?
R: My inspiration for all of my collections is versatility and comfort! And of course… attitude!
G: When can you wear it?
R: This is a 12 month, 24/7 garment. Imagine this over our Women with Control cami and a great pair of trousers to wear to the office. You can team it with a T-shirt and jeans for a more casual look, or layer over a turtle neck when its cold for a pop of colour! Or imagine you're on holiday and you step off the beach in this wonderful cover up. And lastly you can wear it over your little dress when going out on the town!
G: Tell us about the Woman with Control camisole that you can buy with the TSV.
R: The Women with Control cami is the perfect garment for that smooth look under your jacket or under your new long shirt. The smooth liner gives you great figure control - like I always say, every woman wants control!
