New York Fashion Week | Robert Geller Fall 2010

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.
