# Office Fashion Culture DIS Magazine Explores 'Highly Effective People' in the Workplace By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highly-effective-people References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2010/05/pics-conceptual-business-clothing.html) & [dismagazine](http://dismagazine.com/evolved-lifestyles/4149/highly-effective-people/) Exploring the idea of office fashion, DIS Magazine's 'Highly Effective People' feature turns things upside down, quite literally. Eccentrically placing [collared shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/normform) on heads, [cutting suits asymmetrically](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25) and embedding plastic bags in outfits, the shoot shows that expressing yourself might not be possible in the workforce. Specifically conceived by David Toro and Soloman Chase, the 'Highly Effective People' feature is definitely humorous, if not necessarily executed perfectly. Take a look at the gallery above and tell me what you think about office fashion culture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Humorous Office Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to explore unconventional and comedic approaches to office fashion that challenge traditional norms. - **Creative Self-expression:** Potential for innovative fashion companies to develop unconventional clothing designs that allow individuals to express their personality without compromising professionalism. - **Disruptive Workplace Attire:** Opportunity for fashion entrepreneurs to disrupt the workplace attire industry by creating unique and eccentric clothing options that challenge conventional expectations. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore new avenues by embracing unconventional approaches to office fashion that aim to disrupt traditional dress codes and encourage self-expression. - **Comedy:** Comedians and comedy platforms have an opportunity to incorporate office fashion as a comedic element in their performances, highlighting the absurdity of strict dress codes. - **Photography:** Photographers and fashion stylists can experiment with unconventional office fashion concepts to create visually striking and thought-provoking imagery that challenges societal norms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Youthful Corporate-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-corporate-edit.md) - [Chic Corporate-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection.md) - [Office-Themed Metallic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankie-shop.md) - [Curated Workwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petal-and-pups.md) - [Fantastical Hyper-Utility Fashion Liness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-dirty-jobs.md) - [Office-Themed Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-desking.md) - [Scrapbook-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform.md)
