The Kelly Klein x ATM collection has been released in anticipation of the Art Basel Miami beach event, an exclusive show focused on modern and contemporary work.
This special edition line has been designed by Tony Melillo. Known to the public as ATM, the label has been long dedicated to menswear t-shirts. This particular line is dedicated to charity however, breaking with ATM's consumer-focused past.
Portions of the Kelly Klein x ATM series will be donated to ACRIA, the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America. The graphic print will feature an underwater picture taken by Jean Pigozzi which is now present in Klein's book titled 'Pools: Reflections.' December 6th will see its official release at The Webster.
