Chinese icons get new spin in Tom’s T-shirt line

By Yafonne | Special to AsianWeek

When it comes to urban casual appeal, the subtle, wry and understated is becoming all the rage in San Francisco subculture boutiques. Take it from Tom Sieu, 32, a young Chinese American designer whose one-year-old T-shirt line, Tom’s, is beginning to set its own folksy, down-to-earth trend in the Bay Area. An outgrowth of his personal fascination with Chinese icons of past and present, Sieu’s silk screening hobby has quickly turned into a full-blown T-shirt business he can hardly keep up with.

Tom’s clothing is now sold in San Francisco boutiques including Get Ups in the Castro, KidRobot in the Haight, Zoe in Laurel Heights and Guyshop online.

The Lives of Desi Women

SF poet debuts play this weekend

By M.S. Deshmukh | Special to AsianWeek

This weekend, second generation South Asian women will be center stage in San Francisco, contemplating choices and struggling not to fall — metaphorically — that is, in Triptych: Stories of Desi Women at the Noh Space.

This theatrical debut by Summi Kaipa was the result of a grant from the Portrero Nuevo Fund, and the two shows on Jan. 24 and 25 are nearly sold out.
