Mined on Denim is sustainable men's denim brand with inspiration taken from my collection that recently showed at New York Fashion Week in September 2018. What matters most with my designs, is that they are beautifully crafted garments that actually mean something. Fashion has so many meanings that impact the lives of the individuals wearing them, observing them, and the world we live in. The art of fashion and design is as valid as any other art form. True craftsmanship, in design, is a beautiful thing. The goal of Mined on Denim is to create art, in my pieces, through innovative inspiration, craftsmanship and designs. My hope is that my designs can be more than just art. My goal is to utilize my designs as a tool for wearers to express their individuality and/or their point of view. Further, it is my aim to ensure that all my designs do no further harm to the environment. I would like my designs to actually improve the world we live in, thus sustainability is core aspect of my design philosophy. Sustainability in my designs includes: organic/natural fabrics, no chemicals, recycled materials, local sourcing, timeless designs, quality construction and ethical design, operating and marketing practices. Ultimately, it's extremely important to create things of beauty, not things of destruction, that can enhance the world we live in and the lives of those inspired by it.
