Audmatic clothing was based in Los Angeles and was founded in 2003 by artist/designer Audrey Roberts. After studying art and physics at the University of Vermont, she moved to L.A. in 2001 and began working as a sculpting instructor and a designer for local jewelry company Planet Jill. However, having worked for so long to help design other people’s artwork, she began to feel the desire to create her own designs and began experimenting with different mediums and processes. She created a line of rubber stamp designs for Beverly Hills shop owner Suzi Finer and immediately realized that those same designs would translate beautifully as t-shirts as well. Soon after creating a small line of t-shirts and designing her own website, her love for learning new processes led her to teaming up with long time industry pattern makers Sokha Seng and Justina Lee. Although she had never even used a sewing machine before, they were able to instruct her in a crash course for apparel design in order to travel to Las Vegas in a few short months for the Pool Trade Show during fashion week. She has since teamed up with the Nicky And Lucy showroom in downtown L.A. and has had her clothing featured at many exclusive boutiques such as Fred Segal, Intuition, and Lisa Kline. Her background in sculpture allowed her to begin experimenting with merging both two dimensional and three dimensional mediums in order to create quirky new designs that are as beautiful as they are unique. She occasionally travels to Japan and around the U.S. in search of non-traditional materials in order to ensure that each t-shirt becomes a small individual work of art all on its own. She currently lives in Los Angeles and is working on a new body of sculptural work along with her small army of very fierce kitty cats.
