Ginger Root Design is the model ecobusiness. Expert tailors Kristen Swenson and Erin Derge have special talents for recycling the tacky and hopeless. Eighties-era secretary blouses become sleeveless vests with kicky peplums. Men’s button-downs become snazzy shifts. The workroom is on the first floor; the showroom (one-of-a-kind finds for men and women by local accessories and clothing designers) is in the basement.
