About the Maker
The JOEGUSH brand began when Joe designed the wardrobe for a friend’s music video back in his 20s. Since then, Joe’s built a business around his rock and roll aesthetic, focusing on vintage remakes inspired by music, architecture, nature, travel, and more. “The element of my inspiration is a small seed,” he says.
“I think it can change in some way depending on what kind of water is given to it, and what kind of soil it grows in.”
Echoing styles of the Western frontier and the bolero jacket.

ANDREW BURGESS
When Andrew Burgess first got into designing his own clothes back in 2016. Working with minimal hardware and supplies, he’d find inspiration in thrift stores.
“Everyone’s path is different, and I always say it’s a marathon, not a sprint. You can never fail if you never give up.”
Making things has always made Amber Griffiths happy. She's used her designs to explore how beautiful—and how weird—our bodies can be. “I’ve got a number of medical conditions,” she says.
“Being a maker means I can begin to understand myself in every way possible.”
For Corky, being a maker is an escape from the real world. But it’s also her portal back to it. She attributes being a mother to the development of her art and creativity. “Children are always coming up with random thought prompts, which lead to new ideas,” she says.
Initially fashioning garments out of bedsheets, Robin evolved his upcycle approach to other fabrics once social media took notice of his unique style and unfiltered personality. “I try to give fabrics another use,” he says.
“It’s the fabric that gives me the inspiration for whatever piece I make.“
