Statement by Ellen C | Custom Upcycled Denim Art in Los Angeles
OUR STORY: FROM PSYCHIATRIC NURSING TO WEARABLE ADVOCACY
Statement by Ellen C is rooted in the belief that style is a tool for joy and a catalyst for conversation. Based in Los Angeles, our studio transforms premium upcycled denim into one-of-a-kind wearable art.
Our founder, Ellen C., spent her career as a psychiatric nurse using fashion as a bridge to connection. By wearing bold, expressive vests and jackets over her uniform, she found that a "statement piece" could help clients open their hearts and minds. Today, that mission continues through The Persist Series and our custom-designed apparel. Every jacket is crafted to help you look fabulous while spreading positivity and advocacy in your own community.
OUR MISSION: SUSTAINABLE STYLE WITH A FASHION MESSAGE
We believe upcycling denim is good for the planet and the soul. Denim is the ultimate versatile canvas—always en vogue and ready for transformation. By choosing sustainable fashion over fast fashion, you’re investing in a piece that won't fade.
​
Whether it's a "She Persisted" signature jacket featuring Rosie the Riveter, custom feminist iconography and luxe embroidery or a piece designed just for you, our mission is to provide you with a unique "armor" that sets you apart from the crowd. From a night out in Los Angeles to your local march, your jacket is designed to make an entrance.​​​​
