    EPISODE 12: "M1CVH"

    Welcome back!!! Kicking off the newest Season 2 of DryCleanOnly.tv has been long awaited, feels like years since we dropped a new episode. So we are more than excited to be getting back to what we do best over here at Dry Clean Only. As we all may know, art and fashion are two practices of self-expression that go hand in hand with each other. In fact, it's hard to think of one without the other if we are being completely honest. So this week, we got the chance to chop it up with one the youngest art veterans in Chicago, Micah Muhammad otherwise known as, @M1cvh. With the infusion of human anatomy, emotion, and vibrant colors it is easy to say that his work glorifies theories that the art he creates is clearly 1of1(Spill). But enough of me talking, he got the rest. EPISODE OUT NOW!!! #DryCleanOnlyP.S. forgive me for the super long intro LOL....

    EPISODE 10: BASEMENT INDIGO

    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.

    EPISODE 8: "VON"

    If you ain't heard it yet, Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world. So rich in culture that its influence is seen beyond the world of our own.

From footworking to being featured in Vogue, Von has always stayed true and put respect on the city that has made him into the man he is today. Which makes him more relatable to most than you think… So whether you are here for fits or pivotal moments in Chicago history this episode is for you! Dry Clean Only.

    EPISODE 7: "KALIEF'S KANVAS"

    Sometimes we get lost in the heavily curated themes of what art is supposed to be from our IG algorithms and pop culture icons who are paid influences. This episode is surely nothing like that. I had the chance to sit down with the highly decorated artist, Kalief Kanvas (@KaySean_). 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!
