If you haven’t heard of t-shirt superstar Johnny Cupcakes by now, then I don’t even want to know what rock you’ve been living under. Not only does the dude have mad style, but he has a huge following-from local hipsters to musicians and celebrities all over the country. What may be more impressive then his creatively nostalgic line, could be how his success has grown from absolutely nothing to a major fashion icon. What initially stated out as a joke, eventually turned into the hot item on the t-shirt/indie fashion scene. Johnny Cupcakes began selling his shirts out of the trunk of his busted up ‘89 Toyota Camry, but through dedication and determination turned his limited edition prints into a full strength brand. Complete with his own feature shoppe outside of Boston with another to pop up in LA this summer, Johnny never lost site of what was important. Sure he could have sold out as soon as he gained a little momentum and popularity, but he stayed true. He could have taken the easy route and made a quick buck by stocking his line in various retail locations, but he kept it real. His dedication to his fans and appreciation of their support has kept all his runs unique and limited edition, making his product that much more desirable. Johnny’s hobby and passion turned into a full time gig with tons of perks, including meeting A List celebrities and musicians who dig his style, not to mention being his own boss. Our hats are off to you Johnny Cupcakes for making your dream come true, good luck with the LA store. If you ever decide to open up shop in NYC, be sure to let us know. Peep his swanky and creatively designed establishment below, as well as some of his merch.
