PAPER - PHLEMUNS Is Redefining Black Masculinity
His signature patchwork denim is essentially what's made PHLEMUNS famous, but beyond his twist on '70s style lines and early 2000s raw jean nostalgia, designer James Flemons maintains a mission that resonates — his clothing is inherently genderless.
From the beginning — he launched in 2013 — Flemons aimed to subvert black male stereotypes through design. That joy of powerful self-confidence, a happiness and pride in personal strength, is elevated in reach by an attainable approach; PHLEMUNS makes a fresh and forward-thinking statement, but the clothes fall in with everyday wear.
