How Sarah LaFleur is Redefining Power Dressing for Women

Have you ever struggled to find clothing that’s stylish, professional, and actually comfortable? For Sarah LaFleur, that challenge inspired her to create M.M.LaFleur, a brand that celebrates women with thoughtfully designed clothing and personal styling services.

In the latest episode of SHELF HELP, I sat down with Sarah to talk about her journey from management consultant to CEO of one of the most mission-driven fashion brands in the industry. Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

Solving a Problem for Women Like Her

Sarah created M.M.LaFleur because she was her own customer. As a professional woman working in corporate environments, she struggled to find high-quality workwear that didn’t break the bank—or require constant dry cleaning. This led her to team up with top fashion designers to create versatile, easy-care clothing for working women.

Introducing ‘Power Casual’

M.M.LaFleur revolutionized workwear with the concept of power casual—a blend of professionalism and comfort. Whether it’s tailored pants paired with a sleek blazer or an effortlessly chic dress, Sarah’s designs adapt to the evolving ways women work, from boardrooms to home offices.

Mission-Driven Leadership

What truly sets M.M.LaFleur apart is its commitment to empowering women. The brand supports initiatives that help women enter and succeed in the workforce, partners with female athletes, and focuses on sustainability. Sarah believes that standing for something bigger than profits is key to building a lasting and impactful business.

Looking to the Future

As M.M.LaFleur celebrates its 10-year anniversary, Sarah has her sights set on the next decade. Through a “10-Year Press Release,” she outlined her vision for the company in 2033, setting ambitious goals for sustainability and growth. She also shared her excitement about expanding retail locations in the Southern U.S. and continuing to connect with her customers in meaningful ways.
