<<G1's designer, Yoonah Shogi, has taken fine Italian baby poplins >> Too bad she didn't go with platypuses...... << G1's designer, Yoonah Shogi, has taken fine Italian baby poplins and twills and hand-washed them in a palette of saturated pastels and neutrals to create a high-quality casual pant. Whether cropped, Capri or full length, the sexy silhouettes offer an alternative to blue jeans. Ms. Shoji's signature is in the details; hand-frayed hems, contrast-stitched buttonholes, a tiny painted logo ($120-$150 at Henry Lehr in New York).>> When you spend obscene amounts of money on a single pair of blue jeans only to see the teenager who will be wearing them destroy them with scissors to mimic the latest "design", it causes a slight bit of natural annoyance. Just ask me. I'll tell you.
