O Magazine Has a New Fashion Collection at Talbots

Leon Green, Talbots senior vice president of apparel and design, and O creative director Adam Glassman confer over sketches.

At O, we're usually showcasing fashion, not creating it. But when Talbots proposed collaborating on a spring line, with a healthy portion of the proceeds going to Dress for Success, we were all in. "Dress for Success is the kind of program we love to get behind," says O editor in chief Lucy Kaylin. "By helping women get back into the workplace, it has a huge impact." Soon, O's Adam Glassman and Tablots' Leon Green were up to their elbows in fabric swatches, creating the O, The Oprah Magazine Collection for Talbots, on sale starting February 22. The seven pieces range from a dotted swiss tuxedo blouse to cozy ombré scarf, and the clothing is sized from petite to plus. Best of all, 30 percent of the net proceeds from each sale benefit Dress for Success. "With every piece you buy," says Adam, "you know you're helping others."
