...It’s a medium that’s really present in the contemporary culture,” Hsu says.Catherine A. Siller ’06, a sculpture concentrator in Visual and Environmental Studies, has made full use of silicone in her work. Delicate silicone webs drape over scraps of metal on her worktable, and an intricate network of salmon-orange silicone quivers behind her, suspended from the studio ceiling. Siller is “using the class as a sounding board” for her senior sculpture project, and her haunting and strangely familiar work probes beyond...
...that keeps us coming back for more. See, in truth, I don’t really want to mess around with these boys, I want to mother them. I don’t want to stay up late with them, I want to finish their problem sets for them, drape crisp button-downs on them, fold their laundry with them, and throw their old Gatorade bottles away for them.

This means cheaper sweaters but also ones that are coarse and scratchy. They don't drape as sinuously or maintain their shape as well, and they don't provide the lifetime commitment most people seek from their cashmere. They may also be the product of goats with poor genes. Fred Xiaong, co-founder of Autumn Cashmere, whose buttery sweaters typically start at about $300, says the company uses...
