Danny Roberts T-Shirt inspired by Chanel's Spring 07 Collection

Native Angeleno Danny Roberts began drawing when he was just a little boy, he has been said to draw for 15 hours at a time, hands swelling so bad he had to stop.  The hardwork paid off when at just 13 years old, he and a friend began their own clothing company which they would run till he went to Cal Poly for Photography and then eventually the Fashion Design school at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.  In 2007 he was honored by being awarded as the first featured portfolio of graduates o the WGSN Generation Now website.  Inspired by the Chanel 2007 runway show, Danny created the T-Shirt shown above, which is available for purchase on his website: igorandandre.blogspot.com/ and has become a favorite with the fashionista’s from New York to Los Angeles.

Working with many different forms of art from music, to sketching, painting and fashion, Danny has collaborated with various arts such as Sophie Ward and the band Eisley.  Recently he sketched a drawing of a series of buildings and then Heutchy, the men’s shoe line, collaborated with him to make a fabric print out of the building top texture.
