We are thrilled to present Space Jungle, a brand new company that launched this year! And with so many Coloradoans going on so many adventures, it’s pretty wonderful to have a fashionable clothing company that can take us on all of those adventures!
Let’s learn more from designer Ife Ramsey!
What inspired your love for fashion and fashion design?
Colors and fun patterns inspire my love for fashion and fashion design! I fell in love with designing fabric in 2012 and haven’t looked back since.
What is the first thing you ever designed?
In high school I bleached a pair of red jeans until they were a beautiful light pink with dark pink splashes, cut them, and turned them into a skirt. I had an old tutu from a ballet performance which I cut the tulle from and sewed onto the bottom of the skirt. I wish I had a photo to share.
How long have you been designing?
I started designing hemp fabric exclusively in 2013. My latest venture in the ready- to-wear world is SpaceJungle, which I started in 2019, and features athletic fabrics. I hope to merge these two passions and incorporate hemp into a collection soon.
Did you go to school for design or are you self taught?
I’m self-taught.
Who is/are your biggest inspiration/s? (Family, Friends, Designers, etc…)
Music is my biggest design inspiration. I like to visualize sounds in my patterns and draw a lot of inspiration from my favorite band, The Disco Biscuits.
What message or story do you aim for your clothes to tell?
The story of organic authenticity and freedom of style. SpaceJungle Athleisure Outfitters delivers clothing that is meant to be lived in, worked out in, and relaxed in.
What is your go-to textile?
As a pattern designer my go-to textiles are hemp blends, and I hope to incorporate hemp into future SpaceJungle collections.
What was the inspiration behind your latest collection?
Urban athleisure inspires the latest SpaceJungle collection. Colorful sports bra tops and matching leggings, unisex joggers and hoodies, edgy sweater hems, and more is in store for Fall/Winter 2019. From the street to the studio to the top of 14ers, we’re taking you there.
What does 2020 look like for you in the world of fashion?
Up, up and away! 2019 was our launch year. We’re going bigger, badder, and bolder for 2020 with new patterns and new styles, designed right here in Denver.
