Spring intrigue: corporate chic & enchanted evenings

Marketing mavens--those visionary Sisters who specialize in public relations, global branding, event design, and entertainment marketing--generally keep two sets of wardrobes, one for the office and one for premieres and photo ops, where they hobnob with celebrities and their A-list clients. Here, two high-profile Sisters--Melissa Dawn Johnson, media and entertainment innovation executive for North American Oral Care at Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati), and Tiffany N. Smith, director of publicity, CBS Entertainment Communications (Los Angeles)--showcase flawless fashion transitions: chic corporate styles for the office (those in showbiz are expected to dress creatively) and glamorous, glitzy ensembles for the red carpet.
