The very profound menswear designer, Robert Geller, teamed up with to bring us a gray T-shirt with the word “immigrant” written across the chest, in pink letters. Mr. Geller gave us a sneak peek at the shirt after unveiling his Fall Winter 2017 collection at New York Fashion Week. As he came on the runway to wave to the attendees, he was actually wearing the shirt which his wife, Ana Beatriz Lerario-Geller, had painted for him the morning before the show. It is evident that he wore this shirt to pay homage to the many immigrants who are citizens of the United states and have contributed a tremendous amount to society. Also, worth mentioning is that the designer is German-born himself, hence the impact the shirt has made.
Robert Geller states,
“I saw a chance to use my platform to send a message about unity, love, and inclusion. The response has been incredible and I am thankful to have the opportunity to raise some money for the ACLU, an organization that is as important as ever during these times.”
Arun Gupta added:
“There is no denying this is a turbulent time for our nation and it falls to each of us to stand up for the values we believe in. Grailed is proud to team up with Robert Geller on this project and help support the ACLU and everyone fighting for human rights and equality everywhere.
Have a look at the details below:
