Mockingbird Denim

Denim Designer, Creative Director
Stylist: Kelly B
New York, NY

Mockingbird Denim was designed by me and launched in 2010. My focus was to create the ideal jean with not only an impeccable fit and comfort but importantly, classic style and economic awareness. The philosophy behind this brand was that premium denim does not have to come with a premium price tag. Quality is not a luxury, it’s a lost art. Mockingbird was sold online through Zappos and 6PM.com
