BE THE BUDDHA
by Shannon Kelly Gould

A little over a year ago, designer/surfer/yogi Tom Mattson, who'd just returned from a trip through South America, dreamed up an idea with his pal Trenten Clark, who'd returned from an extended trip around Nepal and India. Wouldn't it be cool, they thought, "if we were doing our own thing to create a corporate culture that we define and to get more involved with things that we're passionate about?". Cool Indeed. They put their heads and respective experience together, and Super Buddha, a fair-trade, sweatshop-free, globally influenced clothing line that uses organic fabrics and promotes "positive propaganda" is the result. Mattson, who'd worked as an apparel designer, art director, designer, and producer for everyone from Barry Manilow to the Surfrider Foundation, wasn't hurting for experience, and the Super Buddha collection proves it. The duds are made from 100 percent combed ring-spun cotton to offer a better look, feel and fit. The Eastern-inspired, silk-screened designs ooze a message of cool consciousness that doesn't take itself too seriously. ("It's a global design collective, everyone together ... so Super Buddha is kind of like the superego, but better for the global conciseness," Mattson said.) From the get go, Super Buddha opted to join One Percent for the Planet, a global alliance of companies that donate one percent of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide. And even though they've already outgrown their Santa Barbara silk-screening studio, Mattson and Clark opted keep the production they've had to start outsourcing local. Their line has been picked up by several stores nationwide; in Santa Barbara, look for Super Buddha at Arcobaleno Trade and Bikram Yoga, or check out their Web site, superbuddha.net.
