Is it always someone you know and are friends with ahead of time?
No, never. I mean, I’m not that social. I don’t have a lot of friends. [Laughs]. Okay, I have really good friends, but, uh, I don’t fly around with actors all the time. They’re mostly working on movies and stuff. We go through normal means—you know, cold-call publicists, that sort of thing. The ones who get it immediately say yes, and the ones who don’t—you know, no harm, no foul.
they're often mentioned together because they're both designers showing in ny that put out consistently wearable clothes at a pricepoint sightly more accessible than most designers. they are also very compatible in many ways; both are sporty and trim and have aviation influences in their designs - geller also incorporates a Romantic, gothic aesthetic (a continuation of his time at cloak), whereas ervell adopts a more minimal, alpine, retrofuture-inspired look.
both brands rely on a core selection of pieces that return every season (geller's dipdye, flight pants and tees; ervell's knitwear and shirting) and (presumably) sell best. geller is probably the more experimental of the two, though i think most people would agree he's been taking a more commercial approach in the last few seasons (not that you can blame him); very few of the cooler runway pieces or gimmicks make it outside of japan. i think most of geller's stuff is made in japan; most of ervell's in america or peru(?) for the alpaca knits.
in my opinon, both represent good value in their price range (even if the designs aren't all that inspiring) - they're the sort of brands that mfa would love if they had a bit more cash.

Japanese label 08 Sircus was founded by Hiroshima born designer Kiminori Morishita. Beginning his career at a young age, Morishita worked as a chief designer for various Japanese clothing companies before branching out to design his own label. He debuted the "Kiminori Morishita" label in Tokyo in 2003. The pieces are paired down yet execute unique cuts with a playful take on classic styles—utilizing both solids and patterns harmoniously. Technologically advanced materials are amalgamated with handmade techniques, a perfect union of quality and inventiveness.

it's easy to look back on their marketing and see something that is garish or tasteless in the military excess or fit, but considering their timeline and the huge military trends which took NYC over between 04-09 I think they deserve a ton of credit for being ahead of their time while remaining accessible
