Introducing a unique pair of pants, expertly fashioned from raw denim, inspired by the vibrant energy of ’90s rave/skate culture. These pants feature a wide-legged design that captures the essence of freedom and movement emblematic of that era.

My journey in creating these pants was fueled by a newfound love for the hands-on process—from the meticulous cutting, fitting and marking of seam allowances to the joy of sewing itself.

The design is further personalized with unique symbols and patches. These embellishments are hand painted by me or creatively repurposed from other denim garments, adding a layer of originality and flair. Each pair is a testament to artistic expression, crafted to appeal to those who value unique, handcrafted fashion.

This project is not just about crafting clothing, but about reimagining what fashion can represent—creativity, individuality, and the pure pleasure of making something truly one-of-a-kind.


 

A heartfelt thank you to our funders and sponsors for helping us to realize these projects in full.
