Their limited edition prints and unique branding have made it a favorite amongst Hollywood’s hottest and most talked about celebrities, and have allowed Pink Dolphin to carve out their own niche. With bright colors that clash perfectly together and limited-edition prints, this street wear line borrows a lot of inspiration from Japanese fashions (evident through the usage of Hiragana and Katakana characters) and the wants of fashion savvy, style loving youth that consistently rock the street wear trend. As an original founder, Barhaghi is now the Chief Creative Officer and lead designer of Pink Dolphin. Then Young L approached Barhaghi with the idea for Pink Dolphin and wanted his talent in graphic design to be on the Pink Dolphin team. His sophomore year of high school, he collaborated on a media package business for MySpace that created album and other art for Bay Area artists (Barhaghi is still only 22). Pink Dolphin isn’t his first venture into starting his own business either. With a creative eye for colors and graphic design, he just knew that he wanted to start a clothing line. With a mere $400, the drive of a pure entrepreneur and a shared idea and vision with rapper friend Young L, Barhaghi started teaching himself Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator through sheer will and YouTube videos. So where does a high-school student get the thousands of dollars needed to start a clothing line? They don’t. Now valued at about $20 million dollars, the colorful and upbeat Pink Dolphin brand started out as the passionate project by then San Francisco high school student, Cena Barhaghi, as a way to offer a different and unique take on skater wear. In a mass market that’s oversaturated with lines of graphic tees, hoodies and printed street wear, Pink Dolphin has managed to not only be a top player, but a leader in the industry.
