AFFIRMATION 1. A solemn and often public declaration of the truth or existence of something:
Tremaine Emory’s designs for Denim Tears are inspired by the collective history and experience of Black Americans. This sweater, released in April 2021, is a reinterpretation of Ralph Lauren’s late 1980s design. By replacing the American flag with a version of African American Flag by artist David Hammons and the RL signature with the DT signature, Emory transfers ownership of the design to the Black community.
