"Everyone there is a volunteer. They are short staffed and so overwhelmed with all the animals.”

In June of 1998, Krajecki launched Grey Ant, named after the affectionate moniker given to him by his family and friends after years of whining his name, “G-r-a-n-t.” The collection was the embodiment of the hole he saw in fashion and included hip-hugger pants, winged and domain sleeved tops, silk-screened tee shirts and sleek nylon dresses in a palette of black, gray, red and white. It was bold, graphic, and a total backlash to everything that was trendy that year. People loved it. Forward-minded boutiques and customers on both coasts embraced Krajecki’s approach to style and his unique interpretations of old school favorites, “I like to think the Grey Ant customer is someone who is rebellious in nature and not afraid to be the first on the block to wear something different and new,” said Krajecki. Following the success of his women’s collection, Grey Ant men bowed later that same year.
