Fashion Shopping for Locally Made Clothes?
Posted by Jen Graves on Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Marti Jonjak is here to help, with her story on local designers in this past week's paper. I love her description of a shirt by Cameroon-born Seattle designer Boma Cho:
Cho once created the most perfect garment in the world, starting with a vintage men's casual shirt—made of an oddly spongy synthetic, in a gruesome pale coral, with stark white stitching and short sleeves topped with epaulets. His lightly creepy Eastern Orthodox–style Jesus print lurked at the hem, off center, swirling with halos, and the contrasting styles invited a nice mix of connotations: drug trips, circus peanuts, big-game hunters, crucifixes, and retirees.

- Boma Cho, orthodox-y.
