D210 Covers FASHION TALK with fashion designer Yeohlee

Oct. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- D210’s Takiyah Wallace covered THE FASHIONISTAS and The Crow Collection of Asian Art for an intimate preview of the new Yeohlee Design exhibition on Thursday night. Takiyah sat down with designer Yeohlee who is in town to showcase her designs. Yeohlee spoke of her latest designs and the excitement of making them.  

Yeohlee Teng moved to New York from Malaysia to study fashion at the Parsons School of Design. She has worked primarily in New York City and established her own house, YEOHLEE inc in 1981. 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."


Takiyah also spoke with Fashionistas CEO Heidi Dillon and Project Runways Shirin Askari to name a few.

Net proceeds of event to benefit THE FASHIONISTAS Scholarship Fund and the Crow Collection of Asian Art. Exclusive Sneak Preview of exhibition curated by Myra Walker, Director of the Texas Fashion Collection, showcasing select designs by designer Yeohlee that echo architectural elements.
