JKISSI : If you guys remember correctly Trav posted the GQ’s Best New American Designer contest previously a couple of weeks ago. The contest consisted of a judges by the likes of Thom Browne and more. I remember back in our post a lot people were saying Bejamin Bixby would take the crown, but I said Robert Geller or Rouges Gallery.  Not to take any credit from Bejamin Bixby it has pretty much passed my expectations of what I thought would come out of the line.  For Andre 3000 from being a rapper to designing a nice line is a big accomplishment. Enough about that though Robert Geller takes the award as I predicted, good job to his whole team. 

Here are the Best New American Designer nominees André Benjamin of Benjamin Bixby, David Mullen of Save Khaki, Alex Carleton of Rogues Gallery, Robert Geller, Sam Shipley andJeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos, and Yigal Azrouël.
