Recently closing Robert Geller’s fall 2010 runway show and appearing in the designer’s spring lookbook, surely Taylor Fuchs has found a new fan. Styled by Yuji Takenaka, Taylor lends spring’s collection a new dimension. Drawn to surroundings that exude a magic similar to the paintings of Michael Sowa, Taylor is photographed by Norman Watson in a fashion that captures a subtle touch of romance, but also a hint of reality.
Designer Robert Geller has worked with Greg Armas of Assembly to launch a new store called the Key Shop. Located in New York City at 129 Rivington Street, the store will carry Geller’s full line alongside limited items, Assembly New York’s collection, vintage jewelry, artwork and literature. Shaping up to be the ideal location to showcase Geller’s favorite pieces that do not necessarily make their way to stores, the shop will also host interactive workshops such as learning how to craft boutonnieres. Key Shop opens April 15, 2010 with store hours of noon to 9:00 p.m.
Positioned as “a tribute to the beauty of mixing wardrobe elements that don’t always seem to fit”, Robert Geller’s latest collection fused the utmost sophistication with the effortless finesse of the downtown beatnik. Playing with fitted and relaxed looks, Geller sent a well-proportioned range down the runway that moved as well as it was styled. Dressed in lilacs, charcoals and greens, Geller’s man was on the move, quickly walking down the runway with an extra bounce in his step. From fur shawls and leather jackets to the cropped asymmetrical cape, the collection produced a modern wardrobe of clarity. Tailoring and great fabrics spoke to the classic sense of the gentleman, but Geller turned this notion on its side, infusing the range with a rebellious quality. For every sleek evening coat, Geller sent out a striking modern piece, whether it was a shrunken dinner jacket or layered blazer. Rounding out fall’s collection, the show closed with a somber number consisting of a cape, elongated top and simple denim. It was the image of the quintessential Robert Geller man–a romantic thought born from the conversation of yesterday and the future.
