Rule-Breaking Denim Collections

Val Kristopher Goes Against The Grain With His Debut Denim Capsule

Designer Val Kristopher showcases his new debut denim collection that puts a spotlight on his own perspective on life morality and work ethics. The collection ties into the concept of breaking rules and breaching boundaries in denim work -- going against the norm of being financially confined by banking societies and schooling systems. Val Kristopher's new capsule is comprised of a 22 pieces in total, eight of which are brand new denim looks that tell its own individual story. For example, the 'No Transaction' denim takes on the VISA font to represent that financial struggle of the millennial generation.

The 'Carpenter Denim' recalls the tough work done by carpenters, but also represents Kristopher's time spent as a denim worker -- who now crafts his own collection with the motif of breaking boundaries.
