fashion It’s time to take your love of denim
to the next level! This season, have
ATMDHEEERFNIINICMEASTN some fun with denim and mix in more
than just a pair of denim pants. Try
By: Whitney Alexandra incorporating a denim jumper, overalls
or even a skirt. Zace USA offers a
great style variety alongside sustainably
produced mill-finish RAW denim.
I met with the owner and designer of
Zace USA, Zachery Myers, to discover
more about this Ohio-based fashionably
sustainable brand and must have denim
line. In this issue, I am handing the reins
over to Zachery to share his story and
fashion expertise!
IH: What inspired you to create
Zace USA?
ZM: My love for America and
fashion. I believe that things can be
done in a way that creates a sustainable
industry while creating premium clothing
for socially and fashion conscious people
around the world. I’m very proud that
for the past 13 years my team and I have
been sewing here in rural Ohio outside
of Columbus.
IH: Have you always been
into fashion?
ZM: I remember hiding in bolts of
fabric as a young child while my mother
and grandmother would fabric shop. Back
in the 80’s, we made braided bracelets,
tie-dyed shirts, bleached jeans and spent
our days and nights riding skateboards. I
recall sneaking into my parents bathroom
to smell my stepfather’s green bottle of
Polo cologne while admiring the logo at
the age of 8. I started sewing snowboard
mittens at the age of 17, and I’ve been
creating one thing or another since.
IH: Where do you draw
inspiration for your designs?
ZM: The Zace USA women’s
collections are drawn from my love
for the soil. Usually when I’m covered
in dirt and grease from fixing a tractor
or planting a field, I have my clearest
thoughts for design. Timeless, sexy yet
functional and durable pieces that don’t
have an expiration date on them in terms
of trends is always the goal.
