Brendan Fagan

Brendan.

I met Brendan through my friend Alana. He is an artist from New York now based in Mexico City.

He got his first pair of Revés last year. He is a very tall man so I had to make an extra-long pair for him.

I was pretty excited for him to wear Revés, I dream of seeing the pants in a few years covered in paint, having a story.

I went to visit his studio to take a look at his work environment, I think often you can get to know a person by looking at their space. The little details; dry flowers taped to the wall, random chess pieces, his books.

Brendan was kind enough to answers some simple questions about him, what he likes, how he moves.

Thanks Brendan for your time.
