Her clothes appeal to sporty fashion lovers that are hip to the importance of sustainability.
has spent time living in New York and L.A., but Chicago will always be home. She grew up on the outskirts of the city and currently works out of a studio space in Wicker Park. There, Slevin is busy building her streetwear label ASc with a small team of local producers and fabric suppliers. She launched in 2014 and it’s been a slow but steady climb, building a full range of ready-to-wear.
Her collection includes functional, cool oversized hoodies, fiery orange tie-dye long sleeve tops, python print mock-neck bodysuits, and blue psychedelic pattern tabi tights. Her clothes might appeal to fans of Marine Serre or maybe Off-White, sporty fashion lovers that are hip to the importance of sustainability. Slevin’s clothes aren’t trend-driven; instead they’re comfortable, versatile styling pieces that can be incorporated into almost any wardrobe.
Slevin learned a lot about the impacts of production and manufacturing from a number of former jobs. Right out of college, she worked as an intern at Helmut Lang. That was followed by a gig as an assistant at Rodarte. “It really prepared me for starting my own line because it gave me an idea of the ad-hoc things that actually need to be done at a brand, day-to-day. I did everything from shipment coordination to sample maintenance and photoshoot assistance.
Slevin went on to do merchandising at DVF but eventually found herself back home in Chicago with thoughts of pursuing her own path in fashion. “Designing in Chicago has made it a bit easier for me to be really authentic to my own aesthetic.” Slevin also says that, “Chicago is such a welcoming place to foster creativity. There are so many talented creatives here and the other designers and artists I know locally are so generous with sharing information, which is pretty unique in this business.
This holiday season, Slevin is giving a percentage of her sales to St. Jude’s as well as to the charity No Kid Hungry. As Slevin says, “investing in the future is a big deal to us."
