THE FOUNDER

After many years of working in fashion and in the corporate world Birgit was continually confronted with the same challenges that women face everyday; dressing for work, getting up every morning and thinking - 'what will I wear today - there must be an easier way - guys have it so easy!)

Birgit has worked in beein involved in the fashion industry for over 20 years.

The simple solution - create her own collection, and CareerClothing.com was then formed in 2001.

Birgit's aim was to take the fuss out of dressing for women by making it simple; by providing a coordinated collection of mix & match shirts, jackets, pants, skirts, dresses, and tops at affordable prices.

At the beginning of 2003 the company expanded into men's clothing and introducded a Corporate Uniform Division.

Whilst undertaking research in 1995, Birgit found that 67% of women in Australia are size 14 and over (National Heart Foundation). The clothing companies that do design for women with a fuller figure usually have separate labels designated for the 'plus sizes' and the styling tends to have an older feel. Designing for the fuller figure seems somewhat of a taboo for designers and clothing manufacturers (although things are changing), not only in Australia but also around the world.

Birgit believes that due to the "beauty myth", society sees the "ideal" woman as being a size 10 or smaller, and only they can wear fashionable garments. She believe that women should feel free to dress the way they want. Images of women in the "beauty myth" are destructive and stereotyped. Our culture stereotypes women to fit this myth by flattering the feminine into beauty without intelligence, or intelligence without beauty; women are allowed a mind or a body but not both. This has been based on her own personal experiences and those of her friends. Birgit believes that feminine beauty should not just be based on your physical form; it should include qualities of self-acceptance, confidence, strength, intelligence, health and individual style.
