Former White House intern turned fashion designer will soon be featured on Oprah.

Rochelle Behrens’ The Shirt will be on Oprah on Thursday, January 13. The Shirt will be featured in Oprah’s “Five Things You Need To Do In 2011.”

Meet Rochelle Behrens and “The Shirt.”

The Shirt all started with something I call “the gape,” that see-straight-through-to-the-bra phenomenon that occurs between the buttons on so many women’s shirts in so many meetings across DC? That’s the gape.

After years of wearing ill-fitting button downs to work, inadvertently exposing myself to colleagues and clients alike,  I had had enough.  Safety pinning my shirts became routine. Friends would use sticky tape to hold their shirts together, or install hooks at the bust to keep themselves covered up.  The quest for the perfect shirt became an obsession.

I invented The Shirt with it’s patent pending no-more-gape technology.   We believe not in covering up, but in empowering women to show it off — but on their terms.  And what better place to offer well-fitting button downs than in DC?

The Shirt will be on The Oprah Winfrey Show’s “The Five Things You Need to Do in 2011” on Thursday, January 13.
