It all begins with an old, dirty, worn-in, thrifted vintage hoodie or denim trucker. There’s something beautiful and nostalgic about the natural highs and lows of a classic faded piece of clothing from decades back. Maybe it is the juxtaposition to the sanitary crispness of the contemporary world. The yellow tints and oil stains offer a sense of authenticity, visible softness, and comfort in an age of synthetic, hyper-clean surfaces and uncertainty of a post-covid world.
