INFO
This skirt is composed out of two separate pairs of jeans; the main panel being composed of a deconstructed-rise one, and the other being scrapped to create the panels than turn the main into a skirt. The signature arching style is one that has made a cornerstone to this collection as it encompasses larger concepts of transfiguration through forthcoming representation. It features the original “Levi’s” patch sewn onto a rear pocket that has been attached below the existing one on the right side. This skirt has a minimal design with cuff and sewn down hence clean seams that are serged. these pants are constructed out of the highest quality possible thread for the material; white bonded B49 nylon thread
1SIZING
Small:
This skirt is made for petite AMAB and AFAB folk sized folk with the waist coming in at 30”
Model size reference:
IO : 5’10” and 160lbs
Mary : 5’6” and 120lbs
Concepts in design
The skirt was designed with the intentionality of displaying larger concepts and the question around the idea of “trash”: When does something lose value? In practice this denim is made out a material that is less traditional than higher quality denim. The difference between high-quality versus denim that is a large contributor to fast fashion and contributing to landfill is the levels of the fiber blend. This blend is made out of a mixture that is more so elastic than all cotton. Because of this it is quite difficult to recycle and in most cases not worth the cost for the output of Recycling Centers, it is often discarded through landfill. Using untraditional patter design, preserving fabric by pleating and folding, and keeping future modifications in mind through construction are just a few corner stone design philosophies.

CLEANING & CARE
Hand wash with warm water and laundry soap, no rough abrasions against fabric. Wring out wet garment until damp. Hang and air dry, As the material is thick there will be some time before the garment dries. Store damp garment in a warm dry area until dry. Direct a fan towards the garment until dry. No extended sun exposure beyond reason for drying, to preserve the rich dyes. Press and steam when dry. Use starch to stiffen material if desired.
STORAGE
When dry and ready to set aside for storage either fold the piece or hang it. Hanging is a better option as it allows the fibers to naturally fall with gravity and stay in sync with each other. Other than the fact that folding requires steaming/pressing it is not a bad alternative to hanging your garments as denim holds creases really well and often requires some sort of relaxation regardless.
For archival storage, fold the piece into a desired and even size square that fits inside of an airtight vacuum sealed bag. Once sealed up, store in light tight containers without any objects that can puncture the bag.
When opening up the piece from archival storage slowly release the air, allowing the fabric to expand naturally without irritation, once the fabric has stopped expanding with air, open the bag and pull out the clothing to hang. Hanging will naturally allow the fibers to go in sync with the pattern and drape correctly. From there you can do the cleaning process and drying process to finish the preparation.
