ROBERT GELLER Interview by Scoute

Not a new interview per se, but a great one courtesy of one of our favourite online magazines Scoute. This one in particular was done just prior to Mr. Geller's S/S 09 show, which we currently have stock of. It's a great piece detailing some background information on the label and the man himself, featuring some really interesting tidbits and insights into his thoughts and design process.

What really intrigues me is the guy that I design for. In my mind he is always kind of a tough guy that loves his mother very much. He is a romantic but he is also very sure of himself. He gets into fights but he also loves to go to museums. I love this idea. This to me is a kind of unexpected beauty. My style is a mixture of these masculine garments with softer more romantic elements.
