I started sewing when I was 4 years old. I was using my mother’s sewing machine when I turned 10, and in college I earned extra money by making and mending clothes. I would buy $5 suits from thrift stores, and then rip the seams apart and reconstruct the jackets and pants to fit me.
Zoot suits - which are an icon of Latino culture - were hard to find. In the Hispanic community our fathers, grandfathers, and uncles wore such ensembles; they’re part of our identity. So a friend, Jay Salas, and I started making them in 1997.”*
