"At Good Housekeeping magazine, we&amp;#039;re known for our makeovers: beauty makeovers, body makeovers, health makeovers, and room makeovers. Well, at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) we decided it was time for a lab coat makeover! And as a consumer product testing organization that&amp;#039;s always searching for quality products at good value, it was natural for us to turn to the designer known for high style at an affordable price. Yes, Isaac Mizrahi, the fashion designer much-beloved for moving from a high-end to mass market audience, found time while working on his clothes for Liz Claiborne to rethink the lab coats our staff wears everyday while doing product testing. First, the before photo: Here&amp;#039;s the GHRI staff in a group shot wearing our old lab coats.   And here&amp;#039;s the staff donned in their official new duds. (As the editorial director of GHRI, responsible for making sure all the science gets translated into the magazine, on the web, and other platforms, I&amp;#039;m not wearing a labcoat.)  You can be sure that there was plenty of testing done on our lab coats before we gave the nod to Isaac. Not only did the designs need to be super comfortable for everyday wear and work but Kathleen Huddy, our Textile Director, washed and dried samples 20 times to check that they are wrinkle resistant, won&amp;#039;t fade in the wash, and easy to clean. Later this week, you&amp;#039;ll find the GHRI and Test Kitchen staff wearing their new lab and chef coats in their blog photos. Let us know what you think.
