Item Description
Red Cape by Yeohlee From the Fall 2009 Collection
Scarlet Red. One size fits all.
For Yeohlee Teng design is universal. She believes that design comes from servicing a function and is refined through time and process. Her designs are driven by material, maximizing the use of each fabric by consideration weight, texture, color, and finishing. Through the process, Yeohlee "manages to synthesize style into a poetry about the possibility of fabric", states Richard Flood, Chief Curator of the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.
The lines are clean and contemporary; the garments are made to animate not freeze the wearer. Yeohlee believes that clothes have magic. She dresses the urban nomad, a term she coined for her Fall 1997 collection, defining a lifestyle that requires clothing that works on a variety of practical and psychological levels. She is a master of design management and believes in the efficiency of year-round, seasonless clothes.
Yeohlee's designs have earned a permanent place in the Costume Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the late Richard Martin, then Chief Curator, called her "one of the most ingenious makers of clothing today." Yeohlee was nominated with fashion innovators Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriguez for the 2004 Fashion Design Award by the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, for which she was awarded the prize for her body of design and her contribution to American fashion excellence. Yeohlee joined recipients from all design fields for a reception at the White House in April 2005.
