Ben Cho Outdoes Himself
OVER THE WIRE
A cooler than thou crew of supporters (Chloë Sevigny, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Misshapes, countless black-clad devotees sporting asymmetrical haircuts) gathered at the Altman Building to witness Ben Cho's latest fashion spectacle.
Puzzle-piece sheaths and splashy frocks with three-dimensional blooms and lip-print shifts (in collaboration with artist Dan Colen) stood out as high points. But it was the impressive yarn stag headpiece during the finale that left the crowd feeling — fittingly — like deer in headlights. Proving deliberate idiosyncrasy is still the name of the game.
