ROLLER-SKATING R BEVERLY HILLS HOMELESS MAN- DECKED OUT IN EYE-POPPING, JAZZERCISE-WORTHY SPANDEX ENSEMBLES- INSPIRES CLOTHING LINE. HUH? (Source: BPM Magazine Issue 90)
ONE of today's most buzzed about skurban All-Dolled-Up happens to be inspired by a 50something-year-old homeless guy who dances up a disco storm on roller skates along Robertson Blvd. in Beverly Hills. No joke. We should also mention he's proverbially decked out in eye-popping, Jazzercise-worthy, sheer spandex ensembles. His name is Mr. John Jermien, but according to three 23-year-old dudes who adorn his image on their label, he's "The Crazy Robertson." The clothing line-at this point consisting of T-shirts, hoodies, wallets and limited-edition signed print designs-was established last year. And it really is the result of Hayes, Vic Ackerman and Teddy Hirsch befriending Jermien. "It took a long time where we had to cozy up to him. You just can't talk to him like we're doing now," Hirsch explains.
A recent foray onto Robertson and BPM got this quote from Jermien, in reference to the clothing line. "It's art. It's society. We have a message to put out there. My dancing is about freedom," Jermine huffed before shooing away this reporter so he could prepare another dance routine.

Besides the aesthetically appealing design of The Crazy Robertson, the gear stands for the message of keeping it positive despite the cultural elitism of Greater Los Angeles. This shit is catching on like wildfire and it has already gotten respect from the Wall Street Journal (look it up) in the press and sold out Kitsun on the ground. Cop a t-shirt before your 15 year old brother does when it blows up, and then you have to grab one with your tail between your legs because you didn't recognize dynamic art before it hit the mainstream.

The Crazy Robertson has been an LA icon for 20 plus years. The concept is awesome and clothes are even greater. I love sporting Crazy Robertson Gear!
