Come by for a trunk show and artist reception for Cari Borja's Summer 2011 "Chez Panisse Collection."
About the Collection
The Berkeley-based designer "cari borja / clothesmaker" has created a summer 2011 Collection inspired by her prep-cook internship at Chez Panisse Restaurant and Cafe. Borja's new collection is influenced by both the techniques and processes she learned to prepare the seasonal vegetables for the cafe menu dishes. From asparagus, artichokes and calamari to carrots, beets and cauliflower, the colors, shapes and forms of the vegetables, fish and herbs are echoed throughout the collection.
