Ginger Waters selects the products in Crazy Shirts' catalogs. Going direct for Crazy Shirts
"The most exciting thing is that customers like the food-dyed clothing," Waters said. Kona-coffee dyed shirts started a few years ago, and chocolated-dyed shirts will be in the summer catalog.
Crazy Shirts produces three mail-order catalogs each year. In mid-1996 it launched a Web site in Japanese and English that allows purchases over the Internet.
Waters joined Crazy Shirts in April 1994 and most recently was the area merchandise manager/planner.
She also worked as an assistant buyer of the men's designer wear with Interpacific Hawaii Retail Group, and held management positions with Nordstrom department stores in Seattle.
Waters earned a bachelor's degree cum laude in psychology and anthropology from the University of Washington.
