What I Wear to Work: Jacqueline Durran
, we highlight dynamic women—from entrepreneurs and small business founders to CEOs and celebrities—discussing their style ethos, the pieces that empower them, and how they balance life alongside whirlwind careers.
As a college graduate, costume designer Jacqueline Durran had no idea her love of clothes could lead to a lifelong career. Like many recent graduates, Durran was at a loss of what to do, so she and a friend would go"secondhand shopping," as she used to call it in the '80s, and resell their finds at the Camden and Portobello Road Markets in London.
Now as an eight-time Oscar-nominated costume designer , Durran is still turning to decades-old styles in her work but doesn't leave out modernity, either. In fact, mixing the old with the new is"fundamental" in her designs."What you can gain if you mix periods is that you can give something that the audience can understand better," she explains.
