Interview: Would you abandon the traditional suit on this one?
I'm interviewing tomorrow with a luxury wine/spirits brand for an events position. Colleagues who know the business well have told me they are incredible focused on their image as luxury, beautiful, ahead of the curve, etc. Given that information, I'm thinking of abandoning the traditional black suit/light colored shell combo for the interview and going with something more modern. I'm thinking high heels, black dress (office appropriate length of course) and a modern black suit jacket, then adding a chunky necklace and bracelet.
Thoughts? Too far from traditional? I don't want to look "corporate dowdy" if what they're shooting for is luxurious fashion forward. But I also don't want to go too far trendy, as they're a very long-standing high end brand.

If it's a first round interview I would stay traditional. Depending on how that went you can swing the dress if it's appropriate for a second round.

I agree w/ all of this. a little trendy on 1 thing, but not too much.
I'm also not a fan of large/chunky/distracting jewelry during an interview.
