Bonafide Icon

One of Bonafide Icon's fresh tees.

Conceptualized in 2004, Bonafide Icon was presented in 2005, with Bryant Yarborough, Larry Robinson and David Dhanpat. Larry Robinson is known to be responsible for the sales, marketing, promotion and for the concepts of the designs. David Dhanpat on the other hand, deals with almost all parts of Bonafide Icon. With both graphic design and originality, Bonafide Icon moves to express their ideas and thoughts onto their clothes. The name “Bonafide Icon” means the ability to be recognized and held in honor among the elites. The brand stems from the different elements of the New York lifestyle. With this, Bonafide Icon’s hard work results in the mixture of innovative, dynamic concepts and creative graphics.

Like most other clothing lines, Bonafide Icon also comes from the inspiration of music. Still, what makes Bonafide Icon different is that it not only derives designs from music but from sports, comic books, video games, religion and even politics. This is why the designs vary from cool Freddie and Jason artwork, bred winner horseback and skull images as well as graphics of basketball athletes.

Bonafide Icon’s collection is of men’s wear made up of t-shirts in various artwork and loud designs. Aside from being endorsed by the crew and some close friends, Bonafide Icon has also been seen in magazines like the Antenna Magazine, Vapors Magazine and Format Magazine. Since then, Bonafide Icon has been known to produce clothes that are simple, classic and has outstanding, loud graphic designs that will surely catch anyone’s eye.
