#Repost @denimdudes Mega Major important live Webinar taking place next week on August 19th from our good friend 🎓Amy Leverton🎓 ・・・ I am so pumped to finally be announcing this! After weeks of discussions, introductions learning and planning this important panel DENIM AND SEGREGATION will take place this coming Wednesday. We will dive into the early inspiration behind the brands and the rise of a movement entirely driven by passion but gradually eroded by profit. Why were these brands seen as 'lesser than' until trend and capital made them relevant? Why does mainstream white culture knowingly or unknowingly manipulate the aesthetic or messaging to make Black owned brands more palatable? How has this unconscious bias in our industry affected our historical knowledge of denim, our personal prejudices or our choices as consumers? Most importantly, what lessons can we take from the past to inform a fairer, more inclusive future? I am honoured, excited and frankly blown away to be able to have this conversation with some of the most passionate and talented figures in 90's American streetwear: Alyasha Owerka-Moore: Phat Farm Co-founder & Senior Designer 1991-1993 as well as a LOT of other relevant brands!) Bobby Joseph: FUBU VP of Design and Merchandising 1998-2003 April Walker : Walker Wear Founder and Creative Director 1992- present Donwan Harrell: Akademiks & PRPS founder and Creative Director 1999-2006/ 2002-2018 TJ Walker: Cross Colours Co-founder 1989- present Moderator: The incredible @ms_sberry Host: Amy Leverton Full link in bio how to register - This webinar is not to be missed live.

Our friend @boweryblue Takayuki Echigoya-san has set up a #gofundme - which needs all our help ! Already highlighted by our friends @heddels_ - ▪️Please help us save Mr. Kiyama's Denim Mill in Okayama, Japan. It was devastated by flood waters in July 2018 from a Typhoon. I visited in end of September and he indicated that the flood waters almost reached the windows which was almost 4 feet high. So much damage was done to the denim, weaving machines and even down to the small wooden shuttles. These machines are almost 80 years old. They are classic and vintage and have been producing fine denim for many established denim companies. Mr Kiyama is 78 years old and has been running these machines for a very long time on his own with some little help. This is literally his blood, sweat & now tears. It’s a heart breaking story - if our #denimcommunity helps we can help put Mr Kiyama-san the helping hand he needs for him and his family https://www.gofundme.com/savekiyama https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9ZlINH3Xn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cmqu6yy5quq7

We are so amazed and honoured to be included in the wonderful @denimbranded book created by our friend Nick Williams and his wife Jenny - To be even mentioned along side the founding Members and other great denim designers is very humbling - congrats again Nick, thanks for documenting this book - if you haven’t picked a copy - make sure you do - it’s just epic 👏🎓 (at Westergasfabriek) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp25P3Xnx2d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tza9rjaxu7b6
