Few artists embodied liberation like Sly Stone. His skin-tight studded Leatheracci jumpsuit became a visual anthem of funk’s golden age, handmade proof that courage and craft could coexist.
Calvin Durham’s work for Sly and the Family Stone fused activism with artistry. Every rivet and flare was intentional: freedom built into fabric.
The image of Sly mid-jump, clad head-to-toe in custom leather, remains one of the brand’s proudest emblems, a celebration of movement, color, and defiance.
