Shows the Journey of the
Professional Woman by Seeking the Riddle of the Sphinx
Inspired by the creature
of both Greek and Egyptian folklore, her latest line will explore the journey
of the professional working woman with twelve intrinsically designed pieces,
tailored to blend beauty with professionalism at the workplace. The pieces are
designed to represent the riddle posed by the Sphinx, who according to legend was ‘what has four legs in the
morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening?’ Because the
answer was ‘Man’, Sai-ann has decided to flip the concept to ‘Woman’, and her journey throughout her
professional career.
“As a working
professional myself, I know the time, effort and dedication required to
maintain a professional look while considering other factors such as
functionality, style and above all, affordability. The twelve pieces can be
worn as individual outfits or can be mixed and matched for a completely
different look.” When asked about the general theme of the new line, she
explained simply ‘All working women go through three major stages while
pursuing a career and the line follows that journey. As a young professional
entering the workplace, youthfulness is weighed with uncertainty of
unfamiliarity of entering a new working environment. That represents the first
stage of the line, aptly named ‘Youthful Uncertainty’.
‘As time passes, she is
now comfortably settled into the routine of the job and has now set her sight
on progressing through the many minefields of the office. Older and wiser, she
can maintain a hardened edge when dealing with deadlines, but still knows how
to let her hair down. The four pieces in this section, ‘Professional Conquest’
represents the second part of the Sphinx’s riddle, middle age and I made sure
to place careful emphasis in ensuring that the professional look would still be
visually appealing without being distracting.’
‘Finally, as the working
woman has looked back at her climb to the top, she must now nurture and shape
the talent below her, just as she was once shaped by her superiors. Her dress
code imparts power and authority, confidence and wisdom. Therefore, the last
section, ‘Established Maturity’ would reflect the balance and struggle for
power and respect in the boardroom.’
This will be Sai-ann’s second time featuring her designs on a Caribbean
runway, following last’s year’s debut of BEAU Designs by Sai-ann,
which received critical acclaims. Bolstered by that overwhelming success, the
Southern born beauty is already gearing up to repeat her run-away runway
experience. And the competition has better come prepared, as she now armed to
the teeth. Check out her debut line ‘BEAU’ on Facebook,

beauty behind BEAU as
she sat down and spoke to Nu Woman Magazine in the 2014 Spring Edition
