Levis x Denim Tears Drop 2 is inspired by Gullah Geechee and their culture

Tremaine Emory is a visionary and a versatile artist who is delving into America's past of slavery - this time through the use of indigo dying and customary Gullah Geechee quilt making. This eight-piece collection employs colors, image, and patterns to represent their tenacity, and keeps alive the tale of how fashion and history of the African diaspora intertwines.

For the unfamiliar, the people of Gullah Geechee are descendents of immigrants from West and Central Africa who were sold into slavery and transported to the lower Atlantic regions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia for labor on shoreline rice, Sea Island cotton, and indigo plantations.

The Season 2 drop presents the brand’s timeless 501 jeans, a shirt jacket, canvas tote, t-shirt, “Plantation” Hat and more.

The new collection, which encompasses white denim and indigo dye, features creative textile products that reflects the world's shady past in reference to racism and its enslaved African inhabitants. It focuses notably on the Gullah Geechee folks who own a rich heritage surrounding indigo-dyed fabric.

The designer has cleverly arranged dye-dipped handprints all across the white denim offered in the collection to allude to the oppressed Africans' suffering. It also tends to represent how their hands turn blue while working laboriously.

Emory explains his feelings over the most recent drop, saying,

“This collection presents a striking historical perspective, where every character, every look, and every setting evokes an autonomous examination of America’s past, present, and future.”

Emory went on to describe how she interpreted the Gullah Geechee's genetic makeup for the latest collection,

“I’ve recontextualized the DNA of the Gullah Geechee. The resulting body of work is a palpable alliance centered on the ability to embrace one community’s respective culture, history, and experience. The indigo hands assemble an eclectic talisman for the endurance of the Gullah Geechee slaves. They symbolize a new blueprint for America.”
