How do you replace someone who is truly irreplaceable? 

The answer is simple: you can't. But what you can do is tell their story. 

- 

A tribute to my late best friend, Hayden Foster Wallace. Through textiles and garments—the language I know best - it weaves the story of his life. 

This collection is a work of love and memory, inspired by the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'Give all to love; obey thy heart,' a phrase Hayden cherished so much, he had it tattooed on his body Spanning from San Antonio and Dallas to Lima, Berlin, and New York City, these pieces intertwine the recollections, experiences, and diverse influences that shaped Hayden's life and touched everyone who knew him. 

Clothing carries the essence of a lifetime, and this collection encapsulates the man Hayden was at different stages of his life—from photos of him wearing a baggy t-shirt at swimming practice as a teenager to his love for linen shirts, deep-tuck pants, and tight tank tops, and how he would put on sharp uniform shirts and run around JFK Airport wearing his lanyard. 

A heartfelt thank you to his mother, Audrey Cannon; brother, Harrison Wallace; his partner, Taylor Rachel; aunts, Kippy Perkins and Aerin Benavides; 

and dear friend, Betsy Flickinger. This tribute would not have been possible without your support.
