RUNWAY: Robert Geller FW17

German designer Robert Geller minced no words with his FW17 collection, the first since the November 2016 elections in the United States. When he took his bow, his shirt plainly said "Immigrant", which he is: he was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States. After just a few days after protests at American airports, Geller's latest collection, rooted in resistance and solidarity, felt apropos and, with his deep connection to the theme, ended up being one of his strongest collections. His signature knits, usually destroyed and louche, felt fresh and ready for anything while military inspired tailoring brought with it a strong masculinity and sleek silhouette. Delicate fabrics softened the looks, keeping them within Geller's wheelhouse.
