Romantic Europe meets NYC: the ROBERT GELLER thread

[OccultaVexillum]

Wasn’t Gustav made in China? It might just be the same manufacturers as that.
I don’t know though.
@melonadejello probably has more insight. He’s the first one that mentioned it to me over a year ago. Or Bradley but I forget his user name here.

Different manufacturer from Gustav (although I still love the first season of GvA and can't stop wearing the pieces I bought). I've seen and tried on the samples, and the fits were great, very consistent with previous RG seasons. Fabrics were good too, I couldn't really tell much of a difference from previous seasonsThe Work Jacket on ED in particular had a nice, slightly oversized/relaxed fit. And we were all railing about the pricing so it's a welcome cut by about 30% or more than previous.

pricing is great - i'm hoping ED list some more stuff soon (they clearly have more as the model is wearing the dyed sweater)

also some of this season looks very Robert Gustav

do you know the reason he switched? production costs or...?

I don't remember, tbh

I mean it was pretty clear it was unsustainable as a business model. He was charging at times gucci, dries prices still being kind of a niche designer. Hope he can builds up momentum again

I'm really liking some of the new pieces but I am really curious about the quality of the fabrics. As much as I liked the cuts on some of the Gustav pieces the quality did feel a lot worse than the mainline stuff. The lining of the tweed jacket for example felt cheap in my opinion.

Richard jacket looks pretty appealing - any other fit pics of it outside of the runway shots?

Edit: I guess it looks like last season's? I haven't followed Geller closely in awhile, but the "new" cut looks cool. Did anyone pick up the FW19 version and can speak to the quality?

East Dane put up the other stuff yesterday btw.

 

[hayaoyamaneko]

Any stockists left in Japan?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how RG can be selling close to enough volume to keep a label running with just the stockists listed on his website (not counting the Lululemon stuff).

I love the FW19 version and I posted a fit pic a couple of months back:

The new SS20 ones are the same cut IIRC, but 100% cotton versus the wool from this current FW. And about half the price! Part of me wished I had waited for the SS version but I do love the material of the FW.
