Daily Fashion & Runway News
After dropping out of the Parsons School of Design in 1998 at 21, Benjamin Cho presented two small collections before staging a full-fledged runway show in 2001, which featured sleekly modified trenches, corseted bustiers, and silk fishtail skirts. Though not afraid to experiment with outré accents like heavy zippers and oversize heart prints, Cho thrives when he sticks to what he does best: slightly tweaked classics.
“Benjamin Cho exemplifies the maverick designer who, despite the usual challenges (um, selling clothes), believes in working out a technical problem to his satisfaction. For Mr. Cho, that might take several seasons. He doesn't care. We, though, are the beneficiary of his convictions.”—Cathy Horyn The New York Times
“There's always room for wild clothes…. The stuff they tell you to weed out.”—Guy Trebay The International Herald Tribune
“I'm not looking to make a glamorous, beautiful nice girl but a hardcore girl, a '90s girl. I'm totally into the '90s.”—Benjamin Cho Paper Magazine
