Gild Hall Gussies Up With Steven Alan-Designed Uniforms

Where: 15 Gold Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10038

Our hotel fashion expert JetSetCD reports on the latest in hotel uniforms.

Thompson Hotels' Gild Hall at Wall Street seems to be weathering the economic downturn just fine; Libertine, their musky and manly Todd English-helmed restaurant successfully opened last month, and now the hotel staff gets to dress up in designer duds. Bringing a sliver of his classic, messy-refined style to the lodge atmosphere of Gild Hall, New York clothier Steven Alan will provide male and female uniforms for the first time in his history. He's no Gwen Stefani, but Steven's functional outfits will be able to stand up to her W Hotel designs any day. About the Steven Alan for Gild Hall line:

He riffed on the financiers who populate the neighborhood in creating a men’s ensemble of a worsted wool blazer, button-down vest and slacks with a reverse seam. The woman’s look is the so-called 'Banker’s Dress,' and everyone dons a silk skinny tie.

We admittedly have no idea what a "banker's dress" is, but we're sure it will look great with the backdrop of Gild Hall's faux library lobby. No word on if hotel rates in the Financial District will be dropping in time with the Dow, but at least the hotel staff will be dressed like money.
