Danny Roberts



 Danny Robert was born in Newport Beach, California, USA in 1985. He started a clothing company at the age of 13. He majored photography in Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo and then transferred to The Academy of Arts , San Francisco to study fashion. His first class in The Academy of Arts was fashion illustration and he fell in love with it and decided to be a fashion illustrator rather than be a fashion designer.



In 2008 , he found "Igor +André", a fashion blog. His blog shows his drawings, photography, video and illustration which later makes him known worldwide as a talented fashion illustrator. His drawings has been featured in publications like New York Times, VOGUE, ELLE, Marie Claire, Women's Wear Daily, etc.


His illustration has a very good quality of line and a dreamy illusion. He always draws a circle blush on the cheek which is his trademark. He likes to use a lot of mix media, but his favourite are fine tip pens like micron pens and also water down ink or Gouache.


His most famous illustration work are Lily Cole and Gemma Ward and these are his most challenging works like he said in interview with Filler Magazine. It's a beautiful and fierce illustration. At first he didn't know who is Lily Cole or Gemma Ward were, until one day at his first year of college, he saw a picture of Gemma and he froze, cause she looked just like his drawings. The same thing was happened with Lily Cole, it was like seeing his drawings come to life.

He has a collaboration with Gwen Stephanie's Harajuku Lovers. Gwen Stefany approached him and ask him to team up, to make a mini limited edition line. The collaboration was released in July and consists of four unique handbags, six shirts, and one sweat t-shirt. He also has other several collaboration such as forever 21, Lancome, Heutchy Shoes, Sundace Channel.
