The Outlet wanted us to help promote their workwear range to The Sunday Times Style audience. So we decided to interview inspiring women that were bossing their industries and photograph them in a range of stylish business gear.
Feminist, author, entrepreneur and career oracle Otegha Uwagba is one of those power-houses. At just 15, she organised a women-in-leadership conference at her school. And now, at 28, she is the founder of Women Who, a community that offers support to the new wave of female freelancers entering the workforce.
She talked to us about going freelance, the importance of having a uniform and why you should ask strangers about their salaries. We styled her up in a range of fashionable outfits including Alexander McQueen, Phillip Lim, Preen and Zimmerman.
Otegha says: "As a woman – the way you present yourself to the world completely colours people’s opinions of you. So I definitely use clothes as a tool to progress my career, and I’m absolutely unashamed of that.”
