Ink & Ash Button Shirt Some stories were written in ink. Others were reduced to ash. The Ink & Ash Button Shirt is a layered tribute to Black communities that were built, burned, and nearly erased from history. Designed with a distressed newspaper collage aesthetic, this piece blends fragmented headlines, historic references, and charred textures into a wearable narrative of truth and resilience. Every element carries weight from bold, readable statements to faded archival-style text that feels recovered rather than printed. The burnt sepia tones, torn edges, and ash-worn details create depth that mirrors the story itself: destruction that didn’t silence legacy. This isn’t just a design it’s documentation.
