Jessica McCormack’s New Collection Elevates Office Wear
The “Rush Hour” campaign stars Zoë Kravitz in bold, wearable pieces designed to make a statement in the workplace.

Rush Hour was designed to transform everyday workwear into a corporate chic look.
“I loved seeing Zoë in the pearl white gold [torque] with the matching earrings and then she had a gold ring,” said Jessica McCormack, founder of her eponymous brand.
“She has her own individual style [that] looks very her, and I have other clients who have different styles, and they wear it in their way, and it looks very them. [Rush Hour] can go across different styles.”
Named Rush Hour to reference the 9-to-5 workday, McCormack created the collection to “defy traditional office dress codes” with jewelry that makes a statement, said the brand.
Rather than pairing plain studs and a sensible necklace with a power suit, stylish professionals can opt for Rush Hour’s bold pieces and organic shapes, pieces versatile enough to easily translate from office wear to an evening ensemble or a casual post-work outing.
Georgian design techniques are also seen throughout the pieces, a design element that McCormack uses frequently.
“The idea is that the woman that does the rush hour and the commute... who is designing specifically for these women? If you are wearing something [that] feels like a uniform, is there a way that we can elevate it?” said McCormack.
“You can wear it for an 8 a.m. board meeting, afternoon lunch, and then out without even having to go home, because who [has] time to go home? In New York or London, we [have to] go."
The Rush Hour collection includes 26 pieces that retail for a starting price of $3,550.
It launched on March 13 and is available on the Jessica McCormack website.
