Does your love of denim run skin deep, obsessively deep to the depths of your core, your soul, your inner being? Do you find yourself having to buy SOMETHING denim at least once a month (or more)? Are your closets, trunks, chests, drawers, armoires, racks and/or shelves saturated with denim? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, feel great joy and comfort in knowing that, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! AND my team and I are here to support, satisfy, satiate, fulfill, and quench your denim fetish ... in a healthy and positive way, of course!

For as long as I can remember, I have ALWAYS had an appetite for denim: vests; jackets of all lengths, washes, colors and styles; jeans; skirts; handbags; earrings; hats and anything else that can be used or worn, that looks stylish and matches my cool and creative personality. In fact, the pandemic didn't even stop me from feeding my fetish for All Things Denim, and I'm looking forward to Fall, so I can rock my new pieces and layer up!

What I really L O V E about denim is how versatile and universal it can be based on the cut, style, stitch detail, hardware (snaps, studs, etc), color, wash, stretch (when needed) and density ... it can be accessorized for a semi-formal night solo or on a date, special event, red carpet look (for the "industry" folks), casual day of shopping, or a "chill" day out with loved ones. This L O V E will resonate in our custom collaborations, and limited edition merchandise.

Signing off until the next one ...

While "self-quarantining" during the pandemic, I was watching a sewing tutorial this morning on 'How To Make a Face Mask' (shout out to Timothy Westbrook, Co-Founder of the Brooklyn Sewing Academy) on YouTube, and finally decided to take my mom's advice. Start my own fashion design company! Though I have designed many looks for clients over the years, I have avoided sewing. Thanks to working on the new HBOMAX reality series, 'LEGENDARY,' I decided in February to start sewing again.

My first class at 10 years old, I made 2 "strappy," slightly defective jumpsuits that I wore with pride. I started my career as a Fashion Stylist in 2001, working with several of the music and fashion industries top celebrities, models, record labels and fashion editorials. As of the last 4 or 5 years, I have been working in wardrobe on various TV and film productions, and finally joined the Local 764 Theatrical Wardrobe Union in New York City last January. Another accomplishment that was long overdue. 

All Things Denim (ATD) is the first name that came to mind, and perfect for the concept. As divine timing would have it, my mom called right after this creative awakening, and I shared the great news. She loved the name, and emphatically encouraged me to, "Do it!" I checked to see if the domain name was available, and here we are, less than 24 hours later.

I want this venture to be inspiring not only for me, but my fellow artists and designers and, of course, the customers. I want the merchandise to be memorable, creative and fun. Items sold on the site will be exclusive pieces made from new and recycled denim. Designs will be made and/or inspired by me, as well as local, national and global designers. The remainder of 2020 will be dedicated to sourcing materials, designers, and...CREATING. If you are interested in selling some of your denim jewelry, footwear, apparel, handbags, accessories, home decor and outerwear creations, or donating gently worn denim (jeans and jackets), please contact me at [email protected].

Stay healthy,

Mary
