SHAYXPEAR is a clothing label in Los Angeles that believes each garment should be crafted with a story to tell and prioritizes its silhouettes rather than decorative graphics. Embracing meaning and purpose over trends, we want to share our lived-experiences and reflect upon the intimate relationship between the art and artist.

The brand’s foundation exists beyond trends, guided by lived experiences and the pursuit of individuality. We want to provide garments that act not only as decoration, but an extension to the wearer.

We reject compromise and ensure strict material integrity, construction, and comfort to ensure intentional products and design. We acknowledge that it only exists due to its talented manufacturing and design team and honors the laborers that crafted the piece as much as the wearer.

While trends might empower fashion, I believe fashion empowers change and in order to spark change in how fashion produces garments, I want to build a sustainable sanctuary where cultures celebrate the “scars” left by our lived experiences.

Inspired by SPiFF Passé’s message to the fashion community, I began my professional practice centered through my brand, “SHAYXPEAR” where I use fashion as a medium to share artists’ lived experiences and reflect on the intimate relationship between the art and artist.

I used both my creative and technical knowledge to begin building my first collection of garments called “Angels Smoke Too” which explores the beauty in human imperfections and celebrates the scars that define our resilience.

My goal is to use my brand to build a framework that cultivates a global perspective showcasing an intentional, slow design process that can thrive within the modern fashion market, while also actively ensuring, everyone, including the manufacturers are seen in this process.

Thank you to everyone that is a part of this process and conversation.
