ReMade in America and sell their artwork and we could showcase them or link their site or any information about them as an artist.
K- Your gun with the flower, how did that come up?
E- That was something I worked on for that company
for their second season and they fell apart and didn’t use any
of the designs so I remixed stuff for our own line.
C-We were really excited about working with that that
company, the way he presented the company to us was that he wanted to
have a community of artist that would make all the clothes we will all
be this great community and facilitate each other and at the same time
get different ideas across to the world through clothing. It sort of
fizzled and fell apart because it wasn’t very organized and then
we looked at it and said well we can do this, but we just don’t
want to do it very large scale. We are not into selling things massed
produced. The idea that people always want something new and when people
wear clothes they are sort of saying this is my style. When you buy
something you say, oh I really like that it says something about who
I am that it is an original thing. Then what if you go to a party and
you see that person with the same shirt on. You are probably like well
that’s not mine, it also
explains that person. So the idea of having one of a kind original
stuff is that you can buy something that really speaks to you, knowing
that no one else is going to own that piece.
K- Where do you find your material?
C-Everywhere from people giving me a lot of clothes,
as soon as I started telling people that I was going to do this, every
single one of my girlfriends came over with a bag of clothes. Every
bodies got a whole bunch of stuff in their closet that they either bought
and decided it doesn’t suit them anymore, or it doesn’t
fit them, or they just don’t like it or whatever it is. Then I
take it and either silk screen it, sew on
