Building DP Panton, one idea at a time.
ABOUT DAMIAN PANTON JR.
My name is Damian Panton Jr. I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, and I started DP Panton when I was 18.
Before I ever had a brand name, I knew I wanted a space where I could experiment, create new things, and turn ideas into something real.
Today, I’m the founder of DP Panton, a Mechanical Engineering student specializing in robotics, a boxer and MMA fighter, and a fashion designer who’s still learning every day. DP Panton is where all of those interests start to overlap.
THE FIRST SET
Before DP Panton existed, I was already trying to make things. The first thing I ever made was a shirt and shorts set out of shower curtains. It wasn’t perfect, but it showed me something important: I could take an idea in my head and turn it into something real.
THE FIRST BAG
In 2024, I made my first bag as a birthday gift for my aunt. That project pulled me deeper into fashion, design, and the process of learning how to create my own pieces from scratch. I started DP Panton at 18 because I wanted a place where I could keep experimenting, creating, and learning. The goal was never to have everything figured out. The goal was to start.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
DP Panton is where ideas move from sketches and notes to real pieces. From fabric on the table to a finished garment, I’m still learning, still refining, and still experimenting with every step. So here are some honorable mentions with proof of my experience.
