Collection Spotlight: Julia Sonmi Hegulund

“Sender” by Julia Sonmi Hegulund, featured in the Made + Threadless Partner Collection

Julia Sonmi Heglund loves to incorporate animals into her work and felt a deer would be fitting for a Native American-inspired fall cardigan. She began by creating a mood board with patterns and motifs, then drew sketches to determine how the deer and pattern would sit on the cardigan. For a cozy detail, Julia added elbow patches. Although she expected a limited color palette would be challenging, Julia enjoyed figuring out how to make the colors pop within the details of the design.

Julia Sonmi Heglund grew up in the woods of Georgia and moved to northern Wisconsin where she pursued her art degree. She developed an interest in t-shirt design, which led her to Threadless in 2006. Little did she know that by submitting designs to Threadless, she was launching her artistic career. Julia is now a full-time apparel graphic artist in Los Angeles, dreams about dogs all day, and eat lots of spaghetti.

A store within a store

Our inaugural Partner Collection with Threadless Select

Today we launched a new Collection concept with our friends at Threadless, featuring a premium line of American-made clothing designed by their community and curated by their staff.

It’s our very first Partner Collection: a store… within a store. That’s right, two stores. One living inside the other. Like a baby kangaroo, in the marsupial pocket of a bigger kangaroo, if both kangaroos sold stuff. Or maybe it’s more like one of those Russian matryoshka dolls, with one delightful shopping experience nested inside another.

Whatever. Pick a thing-within-a-thing analogy that helps you contextualize it, and then come check it out.
