ABOUT AGGIE
What would be a lifelong "love affair" with fashion went up a few notches when Aggie was signed on to model for the Conover Agency in New York City. She began modeling and attending classes at Fashion Institute (FIT) for the next few years. While doing a show for the Helen Rose Collection at the Plaza Hotel the lead buyer for Bonwit Telle asked her to be the exclusive model for Bonwit's Designer Collection. For 5 years Aggie was taught about buying, merchandising and how to recognize coming fashion trends. She continued to work at some of the largest New York and Short Hill retailers over the years.
And one day many years ago while strolling in downtown Madison, she noticed NEW LEAF’s window . She liked what she saw and walked in and inquired about a part-time job that was to last until now.
From Bonwit Teller across the street to Henry Bendel and down to B. Altman & Company, back up to Saks Fifth Avenue, across the river to Short Hills and then to NEW LEAF, Aggie has enjoyed every minute of it. Meeting wonderful people....working with beautiful clothing....it's the best. And her "love affair" with fashion is still going strong!
SPRING 2012
Clean lines, classic shapes that define the coming season and styles that are as colorful and varied as the season itself. Floral patterns are bursting out everywhere and they are as colorful as the most lush spring bouquet. From sparkling white cotton knits to pinks from pale to wild rose - every shade of blue you can imagine yellows as vibrant as newly sprung daffodils....the whole red color spectrum and all the wonderful grassy shades of green.
Skirts are ushering in a delightfully air cooled variety of fabrics. Soft layers of organza, ladylike linens and silks and the always appealing cottons. And to top it all off you'll have the welcome choice of different lengths so you can suit yourself and your figure. Different lengths in dresses and pants, too. So start looking now at the early arrivals so you'll be ready for the warm, easy, sunny days ahead.
And the best place to begin looking? Well, NEW LEAF of course. Why? Because that's where the very best selection and prices await you.
Bye for now.
