With fans like Olivier Theyskens and Justin Bieber, Deer Dana’s cult brand of tees has hit a larger-than-cult status. BFFs since 2006, designers Dana Veraldi and Kevin Tekinel have been collaborating on creative projects ever since. The brand takes fandom to new heights—replacing the standard band tee with something more organic and personalized.

The usual suspects are replaced with a curated roster of hand-drawn faces like DOLLy Parton, LIL WAYNE, KOBe Bryant, RICK ROSS, NICKI Minaj, PRINCE HARRY, and basically anyone else you’ve ever been obsessed with. Included in the collection are three exclusive styles feauturing 90s super-babes NAOMI, CINDY, and LINDA. I shot the designers some questions, check out their answers and video below!
