AUGUST EIGHTH

Like a lot of people, school wasn’t always easy for me. My family moved around a lot and I changed schools more than most people could imagine. I was quiet most of the time and kept to myself. The only thing I really cared about was art and clothes. These were the only two things that stayed consistent in my life and I was obsessed with making them both. Years have passed and though its refined, my style has always pretty much remained the same as it was in high school.

August Eighth is an interpretation of an era that I will forever live, create and dwell in. Even the name itself is the birthday of the school teacher I call my mother.

This is for the kid in all of us that was excited as hell to lay that ‘First Day of School’ outfit out before bed, a feeling we should experience everyday and now with August Eighth, we can.
