The fashion side of Onerary: A sustainable clothing line that merges forward-thinking design and functionality. A departure from traditional fashion brands, Onerary seeks to create a new urban uniform, at once unique and versatile enough to blur the lines between work and play.
Founded in 2003 between Brooklyn,NY + Telluride,CO + San Francisco,CA - Onerary was created by Artist,Danielle DeRoberts. The line draws on the divergent interests— DeRoberts' background in painting, textiles, drawing and installation art. The resulting designs aims to be wearable fusions of art and interaction. Today Danielle continues to produce Onerary,fashion/textiles, and painting installations.

"Alongside my paintings, murals, + installation work, I create art wearable pieces — including hand-embellished/cut + sew fashion-fabric earrings + small textile works — that carry the same materials, processes, + emotional meaning as my fine art practice. :::: 𓇹𓇹𓇹pieces are made with reclaimed fabrics, natural dyes, hand embroidery, hand pulled screen printing- hand carved block printing + other techniques — making them intimate, tactile extensions of the environments I build.
~~~~~
While my large-scale works invite people to step into an immersive dreamlike space, my art wearables offer a way to carry that energy into daily life. —- expressive Soul armor of sorts—- They make the work more accessible + allow for a different kind of connection — one that is personal, wearable, + alive in motion— + all one of a kind.
:::::
I often share these pieces through community-centered markets + pop-up events. spaces for direct connections + collaboration with local businesses ✾✾✾ This allows me to meet people face to face, to see how the work lives in the world, + to sustain my practice in a very meaningful + personable way."
All images are created, hand-printed—light dyes and washes are added over the prints to further manipulate the fabric—by DeRoberts in her studio… Shop Onerary
