Inspire Me: Annapolis

August 7th, 2012

In starting a Streetwear Brand, I tried to follow in the footsteps of those who did it so well before me. After doing this for a few years, I realized that there is one problem wrong with this Brand! It is uniquely inspired and uniquely created but not a pure representation of who I am. It has been more of a representation of what has inspired me from the Streetwear Culutre. Though this has made for some good product, great tees and great new friends and customers, it’s time to expand this Brand into what is it truly suppose to be; a representation of Darin Michelle!

I grew up in Annapolis, MD. Annapolis is known for it’s sailboat culture. I never got to into boats much, but have ALWAYS appreciated the culture that makes this town what it is. I will always be drawn to sailor shoes and cargo pants and that is just something I’ve learned to accept! Lol!

The next products coming out of LBDM will feel like home…my home! Sometimes you have to take it back to the basics. It’s funny how you think you’re already there and it’s right under your nose.
