Friend Of The Devil Shirts

In a first-person piece that Mellon wrote for the White House Historical Association in the Friend Of The Devil Shirts 1980s, she said the inspiration for the garden makeover came when President Kennedy and the first lady were visiting her on Cape Cod in the summer of 1961, soon after they had returned from a state visit to France. She said that Kennedy “noted that the White House had no garden equal in quality or attractiveness to the gardens that he had seen and in which he had been entertained in Europe. There he had recognized the importance of gardens surrounding an official residence and their appeal to the sensibilities of all people.” The designer works with customers to find styles, colorways, or patchwork combinations that fit their personal style. “I’ve always loved patchwork,” she says of her signature fabrication. Since James uses scraps of old sportswear T-shirts, and mixes in textures from other vintage pieces she finds, the result is a one-of-one creation. James has built up relationships with wholesale suppliers, so that she can spend less time scouring for vintage pieces and more time on the design process. Wholesalers such as Wholesale Vintage Fashion will send her boxes of unsold sports merch before donating them to places such as Goodwill. Some of the pieces she uses are decades old. “Some of the tees are from the ‘90s or early 2000s,” she says. “I can tell from the tags.”
