What she does: Director at art gallery Hopkinson Mossman
What she wears: Classic tailoring, creative designers, silk dresses for exhibition openings
A day in the life of Hopkinson Mossman gallery director Sarah Hopkinson may involve everything from meeting a client to a briefing with an artist, so her working wardrobe needs to be just as versatile - and interesting, to reflect the creative environment.
Her essentials? White shirts, suit pants, silk dresses, oxfords, white Chucks. "Most days I wear some iteration of a suit; tailored pants with a silk shirt and Georgia Alice blazer, a tailored Penny Sage jumpsuit, or an oversized shirt dress."
Does working in a creative environment influence what you wear day to day?
Yes, I think it gives licence to wear whatever I like as long as it looks purposeful. In a concrete sense the gallery is a great environment for that: it's clean, crisp, white, brightly lit.
You are the face of your gallery; do you dress to represent it and reflect its reputation and aesthetic?
All day we are talking about art - about how things look and what that might mean. It's not so much that the way I dress directly relates to the gallery's aesthetic - but you've got to look like you know how to put an outfit together.
