“The Crazy Robertson” is the newest sensation at the center of Hollywood’s fashion scene. Everybody in his West Los Angeles neighborhood knows John Wesley Jermyn although he isn’t a famous designer or actor. The 56-year-old homeless man, known better as “The Crazy Robertson” or “The Robertson Dancer,” has spent his days dancing on roller skates for the last 20 years, and attracted quite a loyal fan base in the process. Recently there have been rumors flying may secretly be a millionaire, and not an impoverished person after all. Due to all the buzz, there was enough demand for him to launch his own T-shirt brand and online shop.  In a plot twist worthy of Tinseltown, Mr. Jermyn now has a clothing label named after him. Since it was introduced last month, "The Crazy Robertson" brand of T-shirts and sweatshirts, created by a trio of 23-year-olds, has flown off the shelves at Kitson, a haunt of tabloid stars like Paris Hilton. The clothes feature stylized images of Mr. Jermyn, including one design -- available on a $98 hoodie -- that has a graphic of him dancing and the phrase "No Money, No Problems" on the back. At the largest of Kitson's three boutiques on Robertson, shirts bearing Mr. Jermyn's likeness are sold alongside $290 "Victoria Beckham" jeans and $50 baby shoes designed by pop star Gwen Stefani.
