IT workers dubbed ‘worst dressed’
It seems to me that basically the whole point of it is that Ms Melanie Moss doesn’t think the IT industry is doing enough to prop up the fashion industry.
A couple of relevant quotes:
“The internet is now such a massive industry but people haven’t caught up in terms of their dress,” she said.
and –
Ms Moss believes money should be no object when it comes to dressing well.
I get the feeling that Ms Moss is far less concerned about the “business and personal success” of the average IT worker, than she is about getting them to spend all their money on clothes that have no relevance to their jobs.
I have no problem with the idea that people should dress appropriately for work – I just have a problem with the attitude that you can’t be serious about your job until you’ve spent $1000 on clothes – especially when a client will never lay eyes on you.
