I am so excited and proud to share this collaboration with instrumental project @deathx_xhead ! Styling and art direction by yours truly. Track by track, the GRIEF EP details the stages of grief—depression, bargaining, denial, hope, anger and acceptance. As he struggles with a loss, so maybe have you—i hope you see a glimpse of your own process in this project, and that it gives you a sense of connectedness. music: @deathx_xhead photography and visuals: @eyeamnovember wardrobe: @blackxborders I’ll be posting more about each look and how we conceptualized the stages over the coming days. I hope you enjoy!

The GRIEF EP (@deathx_xhead ) includes Anger, represented in this deranged black look—the song and wardrobe were super aligned for this one!

The Denial look is one of my favorites! Once I found the bright floral cotton from @moodfabrics that matched his mask perfectly, it was on. We did this photoshoot in an abandoned elementary school—we wanted to show the darker side of the emotion, an unraveling and unwillingness.

SS24 GRIEF Collection: ACCEPTANCE look 6 In this final stage of grief, acceptance was styled to express weightlessness and transcendence. Embroidered floral portraits on lightweight cotton lined in poplin keep this look airy. The longline and pant give a feeling of rolling robes, the next level, a better person. Let’s start a conversation if you’d like a custom look for your next project ! *** Photography by ya boy @eyeamnovember

SS24 GRIEF Collection: HOPE look 4 For hope, I bought two cotton shortsleeve dickies coveralls and used them as the fabric base for this look. Layered pant legs and sleeves, and overall straps and pockets, all brought together at the center front zip—this piece was fun to make! A true @dickies x @blackxborders remix. Let’s start a conversation if you’d like a custom look for your next project ! *** Photography by ya boy @eyeamnovember

SS24 GRIEF Collection: DENIAL look 3 A visual transition from bright florals to moody black leather leads the look for denial. An old pair of leather pants and 2 yards of floral fabric from Mood create this look—remixing existing materials and old clothes was an exciting way to create within a budget and be challenged by boundaries. Let’s start a conversation if you’d like a custom look for your next project ! *** Photography by ya boy @eyeamnovember

SS24 GRIEF Collection: BARGAINING look 2 For this look, the idea was for the character to appear trapped, restricted, and lost. Remixed lavender cotton, gunmetal hardware and straps complete the look. Let’s start a conversation if you’d like a custom look for your next project ! *** Photography by ya boy @eyeamnovember

SS24 GRIEF Collection: DEPRESSION look 1 Floral motifs, the harness, and XX symbolism can be found woven throughout the collection. In this first stage of grief, the look was styled to be a camouflage to the setting—the character seeming to disappear. Let’s start a conversation if you’d like a custom look for your next project ! *** Photography/videography by ya boy @eyeamnovember
