The American entertainment industry executive Thomas Freston once said, “Innovation is taking two things that exist and putting them together in a new way.” For Los Angeles-based,Tristan Detwiler, it meant taking quilts and turning them into fashionable clothes.
Tristan’s journey into mainstream fashion started in 2018 when he joined the Baumann Quilters of Olivenhain, a group of women who have been quilting for decades. Along with his mother who made him his first repurposed piece of clothing, this group of women helped Tristan develop his sewing skills and inspired his collection. After two years Tristan officially launched his first line called Stan. It’s expensive and Tristan’s work has attracted the media and top fashion directors who praised his artistry. We praise his consideration for reusing and recycling in a highly artistic way… Yeah, Tristan!
