Anybody watch 'House of Boateng' last night on Sundance?
It was great! For all of you who love Project Runway, it fills a bit of the span between the new season of Runway. 'House of Boateng' is a new series on Sundance following the London designer Ozwald Boateng. He's a very well-known (in England) bespoke men's designer. He has yet to make it in the U.S. yet, and this series follows his entree' into the States. He's a young designer, originally from Ghana, who was raised in London, and has revitalized the English men's custom wear industry. His work is a part of the permanent display in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

I'm sure Sundance will re-run this first episode before next Thursday, 8pmCST.

link to CNN article about Ozwald Boateng's career: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/africa/01/12/boateng.fashion/&h=242&w=220&sz=16&hl=en&sig2=3nYklifR7EArckvIy0UFCQ&start=15&tbnid=LIYM6uFhxlYEWM:&tbnh=105&tbnw=95&ei=5cicRKvIDsyo6AH7ioX0AQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dozwald%2Bboateng%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

he's now been named as Creative Director for Menswear for Givenchy, the first black designer to be so named to head a French couture house.
