Bandit Brand has the nostalgic feel of 1970s America, reflections that capture and communicate the crude beauty and simplicity of life. A place where people took pride in their advertising, where signs and logos were hand made, and driving through the woods on the weekends on top of your roadster with no destination in mind was a road trippin’ dream. Jennifer Mcmillan is the woman behind Bandit Brand. Her route into fashion design is a somewhat familiar story. Jen owned a boutique 15 years ago that specialized in new and vintage clothing. “I was having trouble finding t-shirts I liked,” she explained, “so I started creating my own designs.” Jen confessed, “I personally can’t draw very well, and I am super picky, so it took a very long time to find the right artist(s) to take what was in my head, translate my crappy sketches, and turn it into the t-shirt art it is today.” 18 InkSpiredMagazine.com InkSpiredMagazine.com 19
