"I’m Julissa Aaron. I currently work at a film lab as a film scanner. Outside of work, I’m an artist that incorporates airbrushing and film photography into all of my creative work."

 "I am almost always wearing a piece of clothing that I’ve airbrushed. It’s just really fun to represent myself and wear something that I’ve upcycled from my closet."

"Upcycling is really important to my practice as an artist, which is why I really rock with these sneakers."

"I love giving pieces—like this leather jacket from a local thrift store—a new life. I feel like that’s what Billie did with these Air Force 1s - she repurposed old fabric into something new."

 "I think that every piece I’m wearing holds vivid memories within, which is what makes each outfit special in so many ways. My homegirl made the earrings — I love supporting other female artists."

"The sweater vest was one of my first 1/1 pieces front and back that I’ve made for myself; that’s why it’s so hard to let go of. I’ll probably keep it forever because it’s so special to me."

"Airbrushing always seemed like the perfect new way to create something new out of something old. I know Billie had the same intention with these sneakers, using scrap material as part of the design."

"I started airbrushing clothes for myself to add a little more character to my wardrobe; I feel like these sneakers pair perfectly with my custom fits."

"I paired Billie’s sneakers with these pieces specifically as they showcase my classic, day-to-day style."
