Robin Tomas’s winning t-shirt design will be launched at a cocktail reception at Bloomingdale’s New York on March 19, in time for the Spring Season kickoff. The design, a v-neck tee in layered tonal Supima cotton knit, was picked from among 6 finalists in last year’s competition. The TOMAS t-shirt will be sold as a special edition shirt in Bloomingdale’s flagship store in Manhattan.
Founded in 1954, Supima (short for Superior Pima Cotton), is a sumptuous cotton fabric unique to the U.S. that is used by luxury brands. The design contest was inspired by the legendary Wool Secretariat competition that launched the careers of designers Yves St. Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld.
Robin Tomas is a graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York, and has interned for Anna Sui and Valentino. He is presently showing his Fall 2011 collection in New York.

– When did Jake Gyllenhaal get so gorgeous?!?
– The mangkukulam strikes: At the Australian Open David Ferrer takes Rafael Nadal out in straight sets, killing the Rafa Slam. Ferrer had a good day, Nadal had a bad one. Never discount the role of luck in human affairs. Luck and a certain doll in my possession. . .
I don’t want to hear any “Poor Rafa” are you nuts? Rafa had a great year. These things happen.
