LEAVE LEGACY

LEAVE LEGACY — collection image
The narrative

The love is in the history.

LEAVE LEGACY considers what we pass down: a garment, a memory, a way of seeing. Created as friends and family began building families of their own, the collection asks what it means to leave something invaluable behind. Grandparents’ closets, worn pieces from the 1990s, and the history carried by hand-me-downs become a vocabulary of preservation in Black America.

Research & development

Inside the collection

Vintage and value are considered through wear, memory, and personal history. The accompanying spoken poem expands the garments’ narrative into questions of inheritance, oppression, faith, and self-definition. The looks remain untitled.
