In today’s letter I got to spend some time with @keithhenry of @wearhenrys at his studio to check out what personal items he’s currently obsessed with.

「SPOTLIGHT」
Keith Henry’s roots in Vegreville, Alberta, a small town best known for its giant egg sculpture,
contrast sharply with his current standing as a respected figure in fashion. Growing up, his
fascination with skateboarding led him on a creative path—learning to sew out of necessity and
later capturing the world through a camera lens. Skate culture fueled his love for photography
and nurtured his DIY ethos, shaping his approach to clothing design.
His transition from skate photographer to designer wasn’t sudden but gradual. Years of
experimentation with altering garments gave him a keen eye for fit and form, eventually
solidifying his design ethos: function first, but never at the expense of individuality. His hands-on
approach, whether in skateboarding or fashion, is all about balance—ensuring garments move
with the body but remain sturdy enough to endure the demands of real life.
