Following the show, office spoke to Danny about the new venture.
Having collaborated with Advisry in recent years, why did you decide to launch your own Creature World clothing line?
Making clothes with Advisry was the first time I saw all of my peers feeling like my art was for them. Kids like me feel out of place in an art gallery, like we’re not supposed to be there. I saw if I changed the canvas to be shaped like a T shirt or a jacket, it told my peers “this is for you.” I fell in love with the inclusion and wanted to go bigger.
Can you tell me more about the inspiration behind the show spaces?
I wanted people to see that these pictures are of a world worth dreaming about. I knew if I wanted people to see these pictures through my eyes, we would have to build that world.
It was nice to see a fashion line creatively displayed away from the typical fashion week presentations. Is a more traditional runway show something you’d want to explore in the future?
The same way I think the average Creature fan would feel out of place visiting a gallery, I think they’d feel out of place at a runway show. I’d rather meet people where they’re at right now. But who knows what the future will bring.
