Earthling VIP works out of a three-level Los Angeles showroom where embellished denim and reworked vintage meet under an appointment-only model. The studio treats VIP as shorthand for Vision in Progress, a framework for building garments that reference past decades while remaining unfinished in concept. Founder and designer behind the label hand-selects authentic vintage T-shirts spanning tour merchandise and film ephemera, then integrates them into capsule collections centered on detailed construction and surface embellishment. Operating under the philosophy of "Students of the Game / Beings of the Earth," the practice positions itself between archive and atelier, treating fashion history as both source material and ongoing study.
