If you know me, you know I am obsessed with denim. The history of it, the look and feel of it and having a pair that feels like you never want to take them off.
I found a pair recently, a pair that probably should have been thrown to the landfill, instead I resurrected them and made a story about it.
Do you have any denim stories you want to share? I would love to hear them.
Huge thanks to Roll Up Magazine Issue #28 Volume 3 for printing this spread of my images in the studio.
We had a great team to pull this shoot together and without them, none of this would be possible.

This line is constructed of Levi’s I picked up from a thrift store in the Summer of 2022. 100 pairs for $1 each. I did embroider some and silk screened on others and when my hands got sore I started to pull them apart and figure out how to make other pieces of clothing out of them. I mined a heap of patterns from Pinterest, printed them, pieced them together and then started to cut and sew the denim. I broke many needles and stabbed myself many times with pins and when I was at a loss as to how to make something I had an idea for Samantha was there to help. I have so much gratitude for everyone who helped me bring this to life.
A collection of 18 outfits hit the runway on May 21, and it was a blast.
