I love to buy product from designers that I know are not only talented but are especially good people. When I hear things about designers like Cynthia Steffe who are actually really kind in real life it makes me wear their clothing with an extra bit of pride. It’s like the clothes take on a personal feel like they were crafted in love and warmth instead of just made to sell.
You may not have heard of Richie Gleason yet, but I gotta tell you that he is a really nice guy! The type of person who counts his blessings, absolutely adores his wife and is beyond thrilled to be a father! He is also a NYC based art director who designs tee-shirts in his spare time.
I bought some of his adorable series of tee’s for myself and friends that he worked on a few years ago. But now he will be re-launching his tee's with updated artwork and a NYC twist. The collaboration will be hitting stores this week with 6 styles available for men and 6 styles available for women.
The Back proclaims statements like “Hip-Hop”, “Dirty Bird”, “Stud”, “Man-eater” and includes dictionary definitions of the terms on the back bottom left corner.. While the front features appropriate graphics. You can check them out all the designs on his website in the NEW WORK section.
Availability is limited to their denim stores. For those of you in the NYC area they will be available at their SOHO store at 500 Broadway.
