Hyena

Fashion – Pittsburgh

I am the artist Hyena, and my jackets started out on the Playa at Burning Man seven years ago. That was where I got the moniker \"Hyena.\" It is my playa name. It is also my spirit guide that I now use to guide my art and make these incredible jackets. I made them for myself to wear on the playa where culture collides. Like my namesake I am the perfect scavenger, they are made from up-cycled jackets to which I hand- sew patches made from vintage t-shirts. I make them in limited edition batches and all have individual themes. Every one is unique. People started to ask me for them and now I make them for my friends. I am bringing them to the event because these Karkasses are RAW.
