Atlantan Knight designing new Starbucks T-shirts
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Oh, my. Maybe we’ve run one too many items on “Project Runway” finalist Michael Knight.
On Thursday, when we received information on a brewing media event, the up-and-coming Atlanta designer’s name was now spelled Mychael Knight (as in mychaelknight.com) and even worse, the talented clotheshorse is now — sigh — shilling for Starbucks.
Yes, Knight has created the designs for the omnipresent caffeine chain’s new line of free “My Starbucks” T-shirts. (You can customize your shirt depending on your preference for foam, organic products, cinnamon, etc.)
On Monday at 10 a.m., Knight will be in store at the Starbucks at 867 Peachtree St. (at 7th Street in Midtown) to hawk the shirts and sign autographs. Through Wednesday at starbucks.com, Starbucks is giving away a limited number of the individualized shirts daily at 1 p.m.
We’re saddened to report that the Madison Avenue morphing of Mychael doesn’t end there.
When we ventured onto his Web site Thursday, here were the first two sentences of his online bio: “The lights are cued, the models are dressed and the runway is illuminated. From the translucent shadows enters the newest fashion phenom, Mychael Knight … “
The upside? With swimsuit season beckoning, we had absolutely no appetite for dinner Thursday.
