Embroidered clothing will never go out of style. Like embroidery itself, this approach is malleable and transforms based on the aesthetic of the time. Now, people are wearing their clothes with a 1970s vibe, so ripped jeans with a hint of flair are back in vogue. Emily Burtner, aka Thousand Island, plays to this trend with her hand embroidery embellishing the bottom of vintage Levi’s 501 jeans and denim tops. Their designs feature bold shapes that have a Mid-Century modern vibe; together, they form statement-making fashion that’s contemporary while being rooted in the past.
