“Jeff and I do anything we can do to create and give back,” Fox told Matter of Hand. “Jeans are such a special garment so it just makes me so happy when people say these jeans make them feel so good. That’s the part of designing that I really love: the smaller, more personal aspect of it.”

In true DIY fashion, Fox upgrades her reclaimed denim, making her items both fashionable and sustainable. Her shop’s motto? “When you look good, we feel great.’” “At Foxhole, I can follow my piece,” she further relayed. “The customers will come back and tell me about it. I like to know that people are happy and feeling good. I don’t like making money just to make money. I like making money to have people feel good about themselves, and to build something special.”

A 4th generation retail entrepreneur, Fox was raised in a home of rockers, hippies, and vintage fashion, where she learned everything she needed to know about denim. “Denim is arguably the most amazing fabric ever created,” she says. “It was created so long ago. It has such a history. I love the development of where it was in the beginning, from people working their asses off in the field building railroads, to the elite not touching it – that only happened within the last 15 or 20 years.” 

Her Instagram page is a good resting place for any denim lover.

Made of layers and layers of denim jeans, his pieces might look at first like blue-toned photographs or indigo-colored oil paintings, depicting melancholic urban scenes. Only when seen up close, the depth and texture of each piece are fully comprehended.

But funnily enough, his unique style of art-making was the result of chance (or was it fate?). Noticing a pile of old jeans and the contrasting shades of blue, Berry took a pair of scissors and glue and began experimenting. “At first it was just the simple observation, seeing the old jeans I used to wear piled up at my childhood home,” he recalled in an interview with Carved in Blue.

“I decided to use the contrasting shades to make some simple artworks, but then while using it, it made me think of my own connection to denim. It was the only material I felt comfortable in and I transferred that to my work.”

After sharing his work online, he noticed other people’s reactions to his unique use of denim. “I am fully aware of the dualities of denim,” notes Berry, adding that it saddens him to see the price of pollution. “From an art point of view as well as denim, I really am interested in the combination between the laser machines and laundry techniques,” he adds.
