Freedamn Heads came from far and wide to gather in Downtown LA yesterday, for the 6th Annual Kulture Recycling Show, Inspiration LA.

A memorable show with a feel-good vibe, it was fantastic to meet up with old faces and new friends.

Inspiration LA is part trade show, part hang-out, for counter culture Denimheads, vintage Americana enthusiasts, artists, surfers and Kustom Kulture aficionados.

The show celebrates independent labels, slow style designers and local businesses.

Founded in 2010 by photographer/journalist Rin Tanaka, of My Freedamn fame, the show now draws several thousand visitors through its doors each year.

One of the highlights of the day was meeting fellow Brit and denim lover, Amy Leverton, who is in the process of launching her excellent new book Denim Dudes.

A stylish compendium of some of the most influential men in the industry, Denim Dudes also acts as a guide to the latest denim styling from the world's most fashionable cities.
