I teamed up with Century 21, Caravan Stylist Studios and 31 other designers including Nanette Lepore, Walter Baker, and Shoshanna to reimagine the iconic "I ♥ NY tee", an initiative to support Save the Garment Center, a non-profit organization that aims to preserve New York's Garment District and support factories, suppliers and designers through education and advocacy.

This was a fun project to reinterpret the classic, I ♥ NY tee, since at Primary my design aesthetic is basically, reinvented classics. Of course, my instinct was to elevate it to a luxe fashion piece, so I recut the body in leather, added a python heart and finished with a zipper up the back. I loved the shiny texture of the lettering and trademark, so we kept that from the original tee.
