DENIM HISTORY BY STEVEN OTHELLO
Photography by Ramshah Kanwal
A few weeks ago, my friends and I were reminiscing about the era when back pockets on jeans were the focal point of fashion. If you had a pair of Evisu’s or 7 for All Mankind jeans, you were the hottest in the streets. That era in denim feels like it’s been forgotten. I asked myself, what if all those back pockets were placed on one jean? How would that feel? I bought a pair of Levis 501s as base jean and created a piece which has pieces of various vintage jeans sewn on the front. Below is the final piece.
