HEY, MY NAME IS SECHKIN.
FASHION HAS BEEN MY PASSION
SINCE A VERY EARLY AGE.
I LOVE DESIGNING AND MAKING CLOTHES.
I'VE ALWAYS HAD A SPECIAL INTEREST IN
VINTAGE CLOTHING FROM PAST GENERATIONS,
ESPECIALLY THE 80'S AND 90'S.
THE WAY THEY DESIGNED AND PRESENTED
THE CLOTHES BACK THEN
ALWAYS INSPIRED ME TO DO THE SAME.
BUT LOVE ISSUES DIDN'T START WITH FABRIC.
IT STARTED WITH A LOVESCAR.
BORN IN LOS ANGELES, 2021,
OUT OF A HEARTBREAK
THAT LEFT A PERMANENT SCAR WITH ME.
I COULDN'T BE THE ONLY ONE
WHO FELT THAT PAIN.
MOST OF US HAVE FELT HEARTBREAK
AT SOME POINT OF OUR LIVES.
IN DIFFERENT TIMELINES.
IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
MY GOAL IS TO DOCUMENT
AND SHARE THESE
LOVE & HEARTBREAK STORIES
THROUGH ARCHIVE-INSPIRED GARMENTS,
HAND CAMERA RECORDINGS,
110 FILM AND POLAROID SCANS.
IF YOU'VE EVER HAD A HEARTBREAK
YOU COULDN'T MOVE ON FROM,
JUST LIKE I COULDN'T,
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH OWNING IT.
LOVE ISSUES HAVE BEEN EVERYWHERE FOR YEARS.
AND WE WERE NEVER ALONE IN IT.
