For those of us a little taken by a certain vampire as of late, enter Robert Geller: the ultimate modern day vampire designer. Winning GQ's Best New Menswear Designer in American award, Geller took inspiration from menswear at the turn of the twentieth century and modernized the look with fabulous fabrics. The result is a nothing short of jaw-dropping, eye-catching, confident, and darkly romantic collection. Geller taps into an edginess that is almost punk, but clothes it in luxurious velvets and wools to create this connoisseur who would duel to the death if the need be. Geller's collection earned him the award because he referenced an emotion rather than just presenting 'an exercise in making clothes.' Here the models aren't just walking because it's their job, but they are living the collection. You can see how each man plays his part not simply because he is a good model, but because there is something of Geller's idea behind it all that resonates with him. Geller's interpretation of the gothic turned romantic man breathes before us in this stellar collection.
