SKILLA’s Story
2008

Hi, my name is Darold Pinnock. Since childhood, I have always found myself drawing. As I got older, my interest in designing and drawing led me to freelance graphic and web designing. My experience with doing freelance designing exposed me to a whole world of designing. So in 2008, after doing quite a few freelance t-shirt designs, the idea of starting a clothing line came to me. This is when I knew that I wanted to create and come up with a line that promotes positivity.

Skilla’s style stems from my typography (word art), comics and architecture background. The name SKILLA was a high school
nickname that his friends gave Darold. They thought he was skilled in various areas, mainly dancing, and the name kind of stuck and so I decided to name the clothing line SKILLA because it was a pretty unique name and that uniqueness perfectly symbolizes the exclusiveness of my brand.

The inspirations of my life is the drive behind my brand, so the fact that I’m a Christian plays a big roll in the overall movement of the brand.
2009

The first year of SKILLA was awesome and the brand has really grown. After coming out with the Music for ALL tees the traffic of the brand really took off and all that lead to receiving some great and helpful press from top sites like Thrilist.com, HideYourArms.com, TheFashionBomb.com, Iamthetrend.com and much more.
Had the honor of being featured in Crea’cions fashion show in May, which was a great experience. Also start receiving international orders and I got a chance to speak about the brand at Seton Hall University, which was awesome.
Stay tuned for 2010, the movement has begun!
Be Blessed,
