There is no greater feeling than to see your dreams come full circle. Demetri “Meech” Deleon, founder of Basement Indigo began his design career distressing denim for classmates in high school for $5 & today he has commissioned several pieces for NBA superstars and entertainers. Meech's love for denim and fashion is truly fascinating. For someone who is usually more reserved, his work speaks volumes of dedication and hard work. But the honor is on me this episode, having homies that share the processes with you and inquire your opinion makes for a special moment. As we close out the first season of Dry Clean Only, I would also like to thank you, the viewers, for all the motivational messages and the engagement with Dry Clean Only.

An artist who is truly a product of his environment and makes it his goal to showcase the beauty of it in almost every piece he creates. Mixing heavy elements of nature and human emotion isn't just his most favoring aspect about who is and what he creates. It's the message he gets out through his art. Art that reaches the minds of youths, encouraging that they can do it too . “It” being whatever they put their minds to, so get ready! Lotta gems in this episode you don’t wanna miss!
