We are back for another fashion show, a capsule collection for fall 2026 that is ready to wear.
Deanna worked for the past year to put this together and is proud to celebrate with you the repurposing of discarded denim and clothing into a new garment.
Each piece is hand-sewn or hand-screen-printed. The screen-printed designs were created by Deanna as a continuous line; some were inspired by photos she has taken, and others were done freehand.
The event filled up fast last year, so RSVP ASAP if you want to see this show this year.
About Deanna Flinn:
Deanna’s passion for sewing denim started in high school—so much so, she broke her first sewing machine. Growing up in Halifax, she developed a love for thrifting and upcycling, hunting for vintage finds at church bazaars and yard sales.
A photographer from a family of makers, Deanna blends her love for repurposing with creativity, previously selling her art-infused thrifted clothing locally before shifting to sustainable fashion design.
A few years ago, she scored 100 pairs of damaged Levi’s on Facebook Marketplace and transformed them into the unique, hand-sewn designs featured in the Hundred Lives of Levi’s show, which was a huge success last year. This is the Fall 2026 capsule collection complementing that show.
Every piece of denim used is meticulously hand-sewn and reconstructed to turn discarded workwear into high-concept wearable art.
Deanna believes sustainable fashion is essential and hopes her designs inspire you to rethink how you buy and wear clothes.
