Over the past five years, NATIVE has had the honor of publishing profiles, fashion editorials, and gift guides featuring some of Nashville’s finest fashion designers. We’ve also been fortunate enough to cover local restaurants, businesses, and venues with incredible merchandise—t-shirts, pins, and hats that are now fashion statements in their own right.
So for our five-year anniversary, we decided to combine the two. We’ve mixed pieces from Nashville designers with merch from beloved local businesses in an effort to thank a few of the folks that keep our city looking good.

When I create, I often think of what Johannes Itten said, “He who wishes to become a master of color must see, feel, and experience each individual color in its endless combinations with all other colors.”. I’m also inspired frequently by love and loneliness and want folks consuming my work to be encouraged to start paying attention to the little details in everyday life, appreciate the simple things, and let them eventually inspire you! Ultimately, I’m just trying to become a mother fuckin master of color.
