West Coast Fusion Fashion : SHI STUDIO

Georgia Straight's Style Watch draws attention to unique blending of styles and material in East Asian-influenced accessories:

"It's the kind of cultural fusion that could have emerged only from the West Coast. Shi Studio, named for the Cantonese word for "poem", blends the richness of the dynastic brocades of southern China with the antique skill of stained glass and a hip contemporary style. The design duo behind Shi sets the brightly hued silk under clear glass with a sterling frame. The result spans shimmery pendants embroidered with dragons slithering across brilliant fuchsia or scarlet backgrounds and a leather belt decorated with an oval buckle of pink cherry blossoms against lime green."
