People's Garments began as a class project I never imagined transforming into a platform. Peoples Garments also began with what I carried from home to NYC. The garments and objects I took from my mother. Her pink and torquoise pillow covers adorn my bed, her place mats lie on my table, and her small checkered cups hold my flower arrangements. Her fabrics I've taken, I've transformed into bags (without her knowing of course). A piece of my mother, a piece of home, a piece of my culture adorns the walls of my new home. Her garments, her objects have become my story. The unique pieces we carry, often without thinking, hold origins we sometimes refuse to give away no matter how worn they become.

It is a growing archive of garments, objects, and the stories attached to them. Through its digital presence, Peoples Garments is a playful experimentation of community through the origins of our garments.
