House of Boateng
I've been watching a several part documentary on legendary designer, Ozwald Boateng and I only know a little bit about him so far. He is trying to start up some stores in America. He is already a sensation in the UK and has men's clothing stores in many countries around the world.
The show airs on the Sundance channel and is very interesting. Boateng himself is an interesting person. As a designer, he chooses slim cuts and bright colors. Some of the people he has dressed for the Oscars are Will Smith (he was the first), Daniel Day Lewis, Jude Law, Jamie Foxx. On the show he is seen trying to call management for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, both nominated for Brokeback Mountain in 2006. He also hopes to dress Don Cheadle for future Oscars and will see. Celebrities are very important in the fashion world because they have such influence on fashion trends and because so much exposure, I guess. Jude Law wore Boateng's creations in Alfie. I really like Boateng's style!

Hi Claire ,
Ive checked his website and he is indeed a very creative fashion designer , i liked his idea of a suite where its not dark but its bright in color like green , red , yellow. i would love to see men working those suits to work.

Hi L.A.,
Have you seen the videos on his website under "catwalk"? They give an idea of his creativity, too. They show his fall and spring fashion shows. It's about a very self-assured yet fresh attitude. I agree with you. The bright colors are fun. The impeccable cut says "I mean business."
