The story of Milly Millionaire Clothing is the story of one boys dream, and his name is Daniel. Daniel grew up wanting more out of life than the dreary tedium that would come with working to make somebody else rich. Growing up, he found music, cars and clothing as an outlet for his creative passions. But where some saw shirts and convertibles as something to brag about, he saw something different. He saw shallow symbols of status as a form of artistic expression. Art is what drove Daniel to seek a different path for himself. As he worked his way through high school, earning himself the nickname ‘Milly’, he retreated into his own creative paradise.
Milly may have been born as a child of artistic freedom, but he had yet to experience the world as his reborn self. Life in a suburban town had left him feeling like a painter missing half his colours. He diverted his mind to creative influences and using art as a form of expression in different mediums. Street art, canvas art, collages, and finally clothing. Seeking to immerse himself in the culture that inspired him, Milly explored the indie music scenes of Los Angeles and New York and came face to face with his dreams. Bands which he had only known through record covers and television concerts were now real people to him. "Art and Music will always be there for you when you need it in different shapes, sizes, and forms. Those are the two most important things in life that can open up doors that you would have never seen or felt before. They got me through tough times and amazing times. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for my passion and love for these artistic mediums." Despite his quiet origins, he found joy in dive bar's, photography and collectables that he had come across over the years of his travels as well as a growing interest in the lifestyle that came with it. "Sometimes I would just walk down Broadway Ave late at night just looking at where I was, and why I was there. Thinking about the history associated with my location. Think about your favorite place to go and everything that has happened there over the years. It's weird and kind of nostalgic."
