The atmosphere at Peach Berserk is cheerfully chaotic. Watch as employees silkscreen fabric at the back, pierced undergrads paw the bright underwear in punk rock prints ($19) and owner Kingi Carpenter teaches screen printing classes. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a sleepover; Carpenter’s cheerful designs exude the same playful vibe. Customers can choose a print, colour and fit and have a garment custom made. Tangerine silk skirts have a ’50s flair; sexy corset dresses ($395) show off cleavage and have uneven hems for a raw look. Carpenter’s latest craze is alternative wedding dresses in every colour of silk. Also popular are customized silkscreen prints for proms and weddings. Couples bring in their chosen designs—poems or pictures, for instance—to be printed onto napkins, linens and even wedding gowns.
