History
Tremaine Emory founded Denim Tears in 2019 to explore the intersection of fashion and historical narrative. The brand gained prominence through its Cotton Wreath motif, which recontextualizes the history of slavery within American garment production. Its collaborations with established houses like Levi’s and Dior have solidified its role in fashion history. Emory’s work positions the brand as a vehicle for education, using clothing to document the systemic experiences of Black communities.
