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.


As another cold day in the city left most of the audience in coats and boots, Rag & Bone designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville sent their latest collection down the runway to the catchy mixings of Thom Yorke. As the beat throbbed at maximum volume, Rag & Bone’s men took to the runway in relaxed layers of wool and tweed that were fashion-forward, yet accessible for today’s market. Dressed in navy, burgundy, gray and forest green, the collection yielded a specific color palette, but embraced spontaneity with an onslaught of mix and match prints. Amongst camouflage, fairisyle and checks, plaid made a powerful impact, dressing elongated button-downs that doubled as personality-driven accessories. Meanwhile, leather piping and a playful use of texture gave way to one of Rag & Bone’s strongest collections to date. Altogether, crafting a unique vision for the season, Wainwright and Neville turned out a wonderful collection of dynamic separates, but also an excellent style guide with thanks to Vanessa Reid.


Mixing suiting and streetwear, DKNY gets in touch with their urban side this season. Dark and somber, the collection bundles up for fall’s initial cold, looking to quilting and mountain boots to set the tone. Meanwhile, pleated trousers are slightly baggy and suitable for all occassions, not only giving DKNY’s man a city edge, but a modern grace. Effortlessly dressed head to toe, fall’s collection hits the right note for both the style aficionado and the everyday man.


Retro aspirations meet modern proportions in the latest collection from New York-based designer John Bartlett. Embracing a relaxed formality, Bartlett approaches the season with a fearless redressing of suiting. As belted waists give way to fitted looks, a modest military motif gets the camp treatment, while a generous pant silhouette offers relief. Altogether, Bartlett offers an accessible collection with a definitive style.


A tame outing for Duckie Brown, designers Daniel Silver and Steven Cox deliver a youthful collection with punk attitude. While tweed demonstrates a certain sensibility, bold plaid and tailored but shrunken suiting embrace Duckie Brown’s penchant for the standout silhouette.

Rounding out the big three shows, New York Fashion Week is right around the corner and in preparation Red Model Management has given their fine crop of models the artist treatment courtesy of Frillr’s Fabien Montique.
