Denim Community: At Home

Ian Berry, artist
“I work in my Kings of Indigo shirt and love it. Its too big for me, so its great to wear in the studio.”

Fox and Jeff Garza, owners of Foxhole LA
Fox: “I am always in denim, I love it and it makes me feel happy. These coveralls are ‘sweatpants’ for denim lovers by Ideas, the ’80s denim brand, embellished with a Foxy Lady patch.”
Jeff: “I love trains. My railroad stripe Pointer pants cut into shorts, Thrasher hat and trains-themed shirt are just one of my everyday items, but this shirt especially seemed fitting as it says: The light at the end of the tunnel…may be an oncoming train.”
Amy Leverton, Denim Dudes founder
“When I do wear denim and its rigid, then my jean of choice is my ’90s Silvertabs because the loose silhouette feels so comfortable. I go all-over baggy with a loose classic tee. Its jean-pajama day, basically.”
Kara Nicholas, Elevated Textiles VP marketing
“Comfy and sending much WFH love in my new Imogene & Willie tee, fave LVC’s made with White Oak selvage, and sateen ‘uniform’ jacket also made with White Oak fabric.”
Fabrizio Consoli, Blue Of A Kind founder
“My outfit is entirely made of what I define ‘self vintage,’ garments that have sat in my wardrobe long enough to become vintage, even though they have technically only ever belonged to me.”
Tricia Carey, Lenzing Group director global business development-denim
“While working at home I have been watching nature blossom for the past seven weeks. I try to wear something with Tencel fibers everyday while Zooming and FaceTime. Here, I am wearing Allbirds tree runners, Zara Tencel Lyocell tee, Uniqlo Tencel jeans and a Gap Tencel denim jacket. From treehouse to denim in Tencel!
Angela Velasquez, Rivet editor
“Oversized button-down shirts are always my go-to, but skinny jeans are an easy way to find out if I need to slow down on the cookies.”
Barbara Gnutti, Effe-Bi Srl CEO
“I did not take off my pajamas during the first days of quarantine, but then I realized that if I wanted to react to this situation, I had to get up and get dressed every day as if it were a normal working day. This help me to approach moments of the lockdown with more energy and positivity.”
Anatt Finkler, Global Denim creative director
“My go-to outfits are yoga pants, because of comfort and also because I tend to exercise in the evening so it makes it double function. I pair it with a T-shirt, some cool sneakers and of course a denim jacket. As for Valerie, I do get denim creative. She is the one that really changes style and dresses up.”
Liz Warren, Rivet writer
“I don’t always wear denim during quarantine, but when I do, it’s a baggy shirt paired with leggings.”
Steve Maggard, Cone Denim president
“While working from home, I am trying to stay outside as much as possible to get some peace and quiet away from three kids and two dogs, but it is a little cool still in the morning so I find myself wearing my favorite vintage jacket.”
Alberto DeConti, Rudolf Group, head of fashion division
“I’m working from Milan in an unusually quiet Fashion District, crashed on a fatboy and wearing super-soft OE/OE Levi’s Capital E and PEP Marchegiani tee to sustain the local economy.”
Ani Wells, Simply Suzette founder
“Working from home is the norm for me, so I understand how much better a work day feels when you actually get dressed in the morning versus staying in the same pjs you wore to bed. I opt for boyfriend jeans and an oversized tee most of the time, and of course have to pair this with a good pair of fluffy slippers. Whoever said you’re crazy for wearing jeans in quarantine is wrong. They just haven’t found the right pair.”
Tom Leonard, Cone Denim VP
“Sunshine. Blue skies. Please stay with us”
Jessica Binns, Sourcing Journal managing editor
“Wearing jeans feels like an occasion these days.”
Koen Kuik, denim photographer
“I’m still wearing double denim at home just because I really like the texture and the fit of these pieces. In quarantine or not, dry denim is still my way to go.”
Aydan Tüzün, Naveena Denim Mills executive director of global sales and marketing
“Baggy, oversized, soft and draped are the words defining my WFH style. It’s very important that I feel good and comfortable in my outfits.”
Gerard Dislaire, Cone Denim account executive
“Our dining room has been turned into my WFH office. I’m wearing a vintage sweatshirt and APC jeans, which is pretty much what I wear all the time. The rubber Birkenstock, however, are for WFH only!”
Silvia Rancani, The Denim window owner
“I’m wearing a sweater and vintage denim shorts at home with my dogs Tofu and Tattoo.”
Kate Nishimura, Sourcing Journal associate editor
Katie Tague, Raymond UCO vice president, denim development and sales
“It’s all homeschooling here with my daughter, Lex, having art class!”
Lucie Germser, Sphynx founder and head of design
“Here’s my worker look, as I’m painting my new living room.”
John Mallon, Cone Denim account executive
“Working and enjoying a New Jersey spring day wearing my New York Rangers denim cap!”
Allix Cowan, Sourcing Journal client service coordinator
Adam Taubenfligel, Triarchy co-founder and creative director
“For the first few weeks, I was in major sweatpant mode. But I was starting to feel less and less like myself, so I got back into jeans around mid-April. Triarchy bio stretch is just as comfortable as sweatpants, anyway.”
Zennure Danışman, Orta marketing and washing manager
“I’m wearing a crop vest from our MarbleX fabric. This piece is a flashback of a vintage authenticity… with super comfort feeling that enables me to feel retro-cool while working at home.”
Lauren Hutchins, Cone Denim account manager
“I wear my jeans every day I’m working from home because it’s what I would wear when I was working at the office. Anything I can do to maintain any sense of ‘normalcy’ helps keep me sane. I like to wear this shirt as a reminder that all will be OK if we just wear denim. What you can’t see in the image is I’m fully taking advantage of wearing slippers all day because my toes are always cold. Can’t do that in the office!”
Gary You, House of Gold director of strategy and product development
“This is me, my youngest daughter (Kindle, 8-year-old) and my quarantine puppy (Emmie 8 weeks old). This has pretty much been my outfit for the month: a Zara tee, Lululemon black shorts and a heather gray snap back cap since I can’t get a haircut. We moved out the dining table for my Zoom calls and the girls online dance classes. It turned into our multi-purpose room.”
Pierette Scavuzzo, Cone Denim director of denim product design
“WFH business meeting: a little bit country, a little bit more comfortable wearing vintage Dickies denim shirt, waffle knit wide-leg cropped pants, Tomorrow Is Aways New hand-dyed bamboo socks and Birkenstock slides.”
Paolo Gnutti, PG Denim founder
“At my home showroom working on PG Denim’s sample collection.”
Carmen Chan, Cone Denim senior director product and sales
“Wearing my favorite indigo PJ/WFH outfit: top by Cone Denim Jiaxing and White Oak bottoms.”
Caletha Crawford, Sourcing Journal publisher
“This is a typical WFH style for me, which is a huge departure from my office looks. While I will wear leggings, I’m just as happy in a dress and tights or jeans and a T-shirt. No matter what I pick, I always end up in a sweater or sweatshirt at some point in the day. Shoes, of course, are a distant memory, but earrings are a must—though these days I only wear one of two pairs.”
Gabriel Theodor, Cone Denim Europe account executive
“Lunch break!”
Meghan Langston, Raymond UCO Denim vice president, sales and marketing
“My WFH scenario is ripe with boys on screens if I want to get anything done.”
Edward Hertzman, Sourcing Journal president
Davide Biondi, Hen’s Teeth founder (and friends)
Caitlyn Holt, Cone Denim director, product and business innovation
“This oversized White Oak chambray shirt has become my security blanket the past few weeks while working from home. I throw it on over anything and instantly feel closer to my Cone Denim family (and put together enough to be seen on a video call)!”
Doug Gunn, The Vintage Showroom co-founder
“I’m wearing more military at the moment, maybe because our lives feel under siege? A 40s USMC camo hat, U.S. army HBT jacket, which is at the perfect fade for spring summer, and vintage 501’s from the 1950s. (They only just fit me, so I wear once a week to make sure they still do, because though my shop is shut my fridge is open!) Also, I’m not a sweatpants kind of guy, I take my comfort in beaten up old denim!”
Leah Lehman, Sourcing Journal director of partnerships and events
Nezahat Boni, Orta account manager
“Never without my jeans!”
Glenda Goldschmied, House of Gold, visual design and marketing
“For the first few weeks I was pretty much just wearing sweatpants and T-shirts. It was still chilly here in L.A. so I didn’t make much of an effort. Now, however, I haven’t been wearing as much loungewear and it helps me be more productive and feel better overall. Seeing myself so frumpy was not helping my mood.”
