Supermodel, mother, businesswoman, and honorary doctor Naomi Campbell’s 2006 look during New York Fashion Week is just classic. Campbell isn’t just a model; she’s a fashion icon. One thing about an icon is that they are always timeless. This suit set is a look we’ve seen in a myriad of ways especially during the fall seasons over the past few years. With the rise of jorts, the suit short has become a mainstay in the trend cycle, but remember that Campbell has done it first.

New York Fashion Week is often filled with chaos behind the scenes, yet the way Campbell looks in this ensemble shows she’s cool, calm, and collected. During fashion week this September, our fashion team will be dressed in officecore to remind ourselves that we have all we need to survive the chiffon trenches. From the structured blazer and loose white button-down to the shorts and open-toed shoes, this monochromatic chic look will forever be etched into our minds. Keep scrolling to channel this energy during New York Fashion Week.
