Back in 2022, Dylan’s T-Shirt Club first collection showcased in Woven. It wasn’t our usual heritage, tailoring or mod clothing brand but when we met Dylan we loved his enthusiasm for fashion and the amazing one-off pieces he was creating. Woven were exclusive stockists of the brand’s first two unique t-shirt collections which had been designed by the 10-year old, Los Angeles based streetwear designer.
Fast forward 3 years and Dylan’s brand is being worn by some of the biggest celebrities in the world and making headlines in fashion publications across the globe including: Dazed, Vanity Fair Italy, Vogue and The Times!
In a recent interview with Dazed, Dylan shared the roots of his brand and the inspirations behind his creative visions.
‘I was always drawing from the earliest I can remember. Back in 2019, my grandma – who is an awesome artist – came to visit from England and she gave me a set of fabric pens. I made that first t-shirt as a fun test and loved the result, so I decided to keep going! The name Dylan’s T-shirt Club is hand-written on the back and still is to this day. My family and I thought it would be cool to number each t-shirt in one corner and the name of the recipient in the other corner. In the early years, I made a bunch for myself because unique, cool monster and villain designs were hard to find on shop bought t-shirts.’
At Woven, our Founder Chris has always believed in supporting talent in the industry, to help the next generation with their journey in the fashion world. We were honoured when Dylan gave a shout out to Woven for supporting him in his early days during his interview for Dazed.
‘Special shout to the men’s clothing shop Woven in Durham, England. My dad grew up in Durham. They are super cool and supported me early on by being the only physical store that has sold my original t-shirts. I’ve done two capsule collections for them.'
With his designs being donned by the likes of Elle Fanning, Pharrell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mark Wahlberg and Jamie Lee Curtis it is clear that the sky is the limit for this talented young entrepreneur!
‘It is great to see the amazing things Dylan is achieving, to have such a passion from a young age is inspiring. We are so proud to have played a small role in supporting his journey and look forward to seeing him reach his dreams of opening his own independent retail outlet in the future.’ Chris Hayes, Founder, Woven Durham.
