Robert Geller is at it again.
The designer has teamed with Grailed.com for a second version of his successful immigrant T-shirt.
Geller’s first creation, a gray T-shirt with the word “Immigrant” on the front in pink letters, sold out its entire run of 190 shirts within three hours. This time, the designer will create another 300 pieces.
The T-shirts will be sold for $50 and will be available in standard sizes for men and women on the Grailed web site. As with the first round, the proceeds will be donated to the ACLU and will be matched by Grailed. The shirts will be available beginning on Friday.
The German-born Geller, who was just nominated for a CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year Award, wore the T-shirt, which was hand-painted by his wife Ana Beatriz Lerario-Geller the morning before the fall show in February. The collection was inspired by political unrest and protest, but with a touch of hope as well.
