The
Look Intricate braiding; carefully
hung asymmetrical ribbons. For
his September 12 show, Cho plans to use "a lot
of ladylike cocktail dress material, but not in
that manner."
Where
to Get It Not yet available in stores
Career Trajectory
Cho, 25, seems to be
the one standout editors can agree on this season.
The Parsons dropout
has turned so many heads since he debuted his
first collection in 1999 that Japanese cosmetic
company Shiseido tapped him for its sponsorship
program.
What
You Don't Know It's not just Cho's
inventive way with fabric that has fashionistas
so impressed: Melissa de la Cruz of Hint
notes, "[Benjamin] has a conscience. When he got
a manufacturer, he made sure everything was not
being produced in a sweatshop." What a guy!
What
the Editors Say
New York,
Amy Larocca: "What's great about Ben is that
he's not only a precise cutter, he has these fantastical
ideas."
Elle, Nina Garcia:
"It's a very particular style. You can tell
his things are his things, and that's very important."
