If you’re feeling the jeans but truly believe you can make them yourself, check out one of my favorite YouTube Channels from a fellow Baltimorian, Julia of Itsbiltzzz. She demonstrates how to deconstruct denim and how to create areas of shredding/distressing on your jeans.

Fly Read: The Way We Wore: Black Style Then
8 FebThis book is really great because it emphasizes how crucial a role African-American fashion has played over the years. The Way We Wore: Black Style Then by Michael McCollom reminds me of skimming thru my parent’s photo albums; pictures of the stylish beginnings of a diverse group of African American tastemakers.
The snapshots come from within Michael McCollom’s own family and circle of friends who may include Oprah Winfrey, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Tracy Reese, Kimora Lee, Coco Mitchell and Iman, among others.
It’s a creative history book of black fashion.
Available at Barnes & Noble.
