Founder and creative director Tremaine Emory taps Lauryn Hill to front Denim Tears’s latest Spring/Summer 2026 campaign, marking a new installment in the brand’s ongoing in-house denim project. The shoot places Hill in a black-and-white denim design and it’s cultural roots.

Shot by Liam MacRae and Justin Sarinana, the campaign frames Hill against a school-style backdrop. She appears in layered denim piece featuring Denim Tears’s signature embroidered cotton wreath motif placed closely across the fabric so the pattern becomes part of the outfit and not just a detail. The styling is completed with denim accessories, wide clear-framed sunglasses, and stacked bangle jewelry.

Hill’s look centers on layered denim construction, with the embroidered detailing positioned within the outfit. Visible stitching and surface texture are highlighted through the monochrome photography, allowing the texture of the jeanswear to remain the main point.

The campaign continues Denim Tears’s approach under Emory, where clothing is used as a medium to reference cultural history through design and material execution.

She appears with her children Selah Marley, YG Marley, Sara Marley, and Johnny Cash showing different ways the same pieces can be worn.
