2009-02-15T21:25:00.000-08:00

Gary Graham was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, and graduated from the School of Art Institute of Chicago. Gary Graham’s background in costume and textile design is apparent, season after season, in collections imbued with insouciant luxury and a sense of history. The designer launched his own line in the fall of 1999. His first collection, referencing a historical silhouette re-interpreted with modern drape and ease, was made entirely of garment-dyed quilted silk organza and produced in the basement of a historic Tribeca flatiron building. Now, still faithful to his original aesthetic, the designer operates out of the garment district. Gary Graham is attracted to the beauty in lighness and dark, opposites, contrasts, and cause and effect. This approach is reflected in his trademark fitted jackets, fluid dresses, blouses and slouchy knits. His items are rendered in a rich and varied palette and texture achieved by meticulous dying and washing processes.

The first Souchi sweater was created in San Francisco in 1997. Over ten years later, founder and designer Suzi Johnson is still at the loom. Each year Suzi personally designs and hand-crafts four collections centered around her stunning cashmere pieces that are known for their beauty, elegance, and luxury. Suzi personally hand picks her yarns at the finest mills in Europe. The cashmere is selected based on perfect quality and breathtaking color and ranges in weight from whisper thin 1-ply to chunky 12-ply. She also knits pieces made from organic cotton, cotton stretch, and cotton/cashmere blends. Modern feminine shapes meet charming details, and irresistibly cozy materials meet painterly color. From the beginning, the softest and highest quality yarns have been hand loomed by the designer herself. Currently based in Portland, Oregon, the designer operates the Souchi Studio where she continues to produce hand loomed and hand finished knits.
