Black Milk Clothing was founded in 2009 by James Lillis with just a Tumblr blog “TooManyTights” and a thirst to revolutionize the clothing industry.

James Lillis bought a sewing machine, picked fabrics at local markets and started experimenting from his home in Brisbane, Australia. He used Tumblr as testing forum, by posting his legging designs and asking for feedback. Black Milk Clothing bonded with their audience by including them in the creative process. Within a few months, Black Milk Clothing built a community around their blog and opened their e-commerce store in 2010. Black Milk Clothing his now a multi-million dollar company selling globally.
