The Harbingers of
Design… Steven Oo
This series spotlights
global innovators who are original, known, lesser known and some perchance even
already highly regarded and respected within their areas of expertise. The common thread is style and fashion;
whether it takes its form in interiors, apparel, accessories, retail,
photography or any of the related professions that surround fashion and
style. Please note that some of my “cast
members” have chosen to follow a path than includes utilizing the “tools” of
the past thereby rendering a new and modern vision for today’s climate of
fashion and style. These “createurs” are at the vanguard of design and style …
in my opinion, of course
Today in the blistering
heat of New York City this writer was reminded that true, original and
astounding talent lives!!! Years ago
Steven Oo came to my attention very soon after his graduation from the Academy
of Art University in san Francisco and he has never left my sight… and with
good reason. There is a word that comes
to mind, and it is a word that is not tossed around lightly on my pages and
that word is BRILLIANT!
This is all about talent
meeting technology in the most creative way possible. This is about vision and believing that there
are no limits and that everything can be done.
The proof is here and even in oven like heat, one cannot resist in
touching and fondling the most precious of cashmere which has taken the form of
knitwear that we have not yet seen in this millennium… or for that matter in
the last one either! In very plain
simple terms... these is not Granny’s knit one, purl 2 and drop a stitch!!!
Have a look and let me
know what you think!!!!
P.S. you might want to conjure the spirits of John Ashpool
and Laura Biagiotti
