Harris commenced his fashion career as a sophomore in high school, upcycling his own clothes in an effort to express his creativity in his small Virginian hometown. After teaching himself how to sew by watching YouTube videos, Harris made his first garment in 2017: a simple, yet chic
leather fanny pack. “I started upcycling clothes because there aren't really any fabric stores in
Virginia like there are in New York,” said Harris. “So I was just using anything that I could get
my hands on,” from his own clothes, to hand me downs, to his parents’ old attire.
