The Boateng Arrives at These Shores
By Izzy
Tonight at 9 pm the Sundance channel airs the first episode of a series about Ghanian-born British men’s fashion designer Ozwald Boateng. Appropriately called House of Boateng, the show follows the self-taught self-described “bespoke couturier,” who has a penchant for classic Savile Row tailoring combined with bold colors, in his attempt to bring his label to America.
Reportedly, two weeks ago while accepting the Order of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace, he had the gumption to say to the Queen, “I want to make you a suit.”
