Levi Yeoman is making clothes for himself and his friends. For the last two years, fashion has been a big part of his life. He specializes in making pants and is experimenting with a variety of fabrics and designs.

Yeoman just concluded a month-long internship with a clothing company in Taiwan, where he designed unique jeans using software. At home, he is experimenting with making his original clothes using an old cast-iron sewing machine in the basement. He posts his creations on social media for sale.

Fashion has become part of his identity, and he regularly participates in “fancy Fridays,” a recent and growing trend of wearing nice clothes at his high school.
