Just weeks after China achieved a milestone by landing a rover on the far side of the moon, Robert Geller's FW19 collection started off with moon-printed garments. Though this collection wasn't space-y, it did touch heavily on a sense of adventure and living an active lifestyle - which also meant there were less of Geller's signature lounge-y knits and more utilitarian jackets, compression tights and other base layers and technical fabrics to keep out the cold and wind and keep the warmth within.

The sun-bleached colors used in Robert Geller's SS19 collection conveyed a cozy vibe, as if these new clothes are some of the oldest and most cherished pieces in one's wardrobe. Mix in Geller's signature loungey cuts and his high-end knits and the result offered clothes that one can and would want to live in comfortably.

Robert Geller pushed the reset button on his label after his FW17 show and came back this season with a fresh new collection that looked back on happy moments in his youth, a theme that's emerging out of NYFWM, which might be attributed to the tough times we currently live in. Nevertheless, Geller offered slouchy and sporty designs that played on his childhood memories of watching soccer games with friends and of the regiment and solidarity of being a part of the military, all seen here in a purposefully faded color palette, as if in a dream.

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.

Robert Geller looked to the German music scene in the 80s as inspiration for his latest collection, which saw hints of rebellion in the days before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The silhouette was loose and fluid like one expects from Geller while pops of leopard print, furry attaches on belt loops added a fun but subversive thread through the collection. From the austere color palette in the beginning to the bright flashes of color in the end, Geller brought lightness to the collection, and to his label which often sees very little of the bright, effusive hues in the final looks.

Vampiric looking models with silver hair complemented Robert Geller's signature louche knits and sporty layers. Colorblocking was utilized here effectively to help create the looks that seemed rooted in the Middle East, especially the last few looks that offered strong pops of color. This collection was quite strong for Geller with his outerwear looking fresh and wearable.

Robert Geller is not the first, nor will he be the last, designer to look to the past for inspiration. In a season where nearly every designer did just that, Geller departed from the flock and looked to a different decade. These weren't clothes of the 1970s: full of glam, flamboyance, and/or frivolity. Instead, these somber pieces were rooted in a time 50 years earlier, in a darker era, full of financial ruin and livelihoods lost, not totally dissimilar to today's world. The result of this melancholy was a collection that heralded much more athleticism, like joggers and hoodies. Loungey pieces looked sexy and sultry while tailoring was soft and mirrored the idea of the mid-to-late 1920s of blending in so as to not look too ostentatious. The richness and vibrance of the hues added a much need kick in the you-know-what to the collection which started to feel a little too dreary.

New York-based designer Robert Geller aimed for a retro feel for his Spring/Summer 2015 collection. The result mixed Geller's signature loose knits with tailoring reminiscent of the 60s; and thankfully, the collection wasn't bogged down by being too literal, though the hats teetered in that direction. The strongest pieces were the tailored pieces, including pants and jackets, while the "white noise" prints at the end did not fit into this category.

The 1960s were a time that saw steps towards equality and civil rights, Geller chose this era and explored how that time translates into modern fashion, the biggest impact of the current events of that time would have been an inclusive cast. Instead, the one-noted cast was a glaring misstep, a fact a prominent writer from the New York Times mentioned prior to the show.

Boxy suits accompanied an outerwear-heavy collection from Robert Geller. The designer, known for his soft knits and rocker style, showed more of the same for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2014 season but there were jewels among the twenty-six looks, including a color blocked overcoat with hues of greys and blacks accentuating the slim cut. The neoprene coats were exceptional in their design and execution and hopefully Geller explores this new side of his aesthetic more so his collections don't fall into the category of being too predictable.

Austerity was key on Robert Geller's runway show. Severe cuts and a hauntingly dark palette ran rampant, save for half a handful of school-bus yellow hues. Geller's signature knits took a backseat to some seriously chic summer leathers, like a structured and sleeveless leather jacket, stealing the limelight. The collection evoked a meld of bohemian themes and intellectualism with rounded glasses and Eastern European hats that covered heavily coiffed hair, juxtaposing the unavoidable military theme.
