The new Paule Ka Fall/Winter 2014 campaign features some of the most vibrant looks for strong-minded women on the market. The editorial stars Angela Lindvall wearing a series of [office-ready fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12th-tribe-x-corporate-natalie) that highlights her femininity while maintaining a sense of strength.

The campaign is accompanied by a story, in which a young office worker is seduced by a man. She abandons her work attire for a [glittering cocktail dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025), and goes off to meet him. However, the story never reveals whether she gives into the man, but it is implied that she [fights him with her independence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman), and refuses to succumb.

One of the most striking ensembles from the campaign is a power suit in a dark, navy blue. Its tapered lines and flattering V-neck make it a gorgeous ensemble for any female body type, and proves that women can rock the workplace as much as men can.
