Give any thought to releasing the audio? Would be cool to listen to this.


It would have to be edited, and we'd need Robert's permission, but yes, I'd considered releasing this on the forum.

Cheers,

Fok.

this is sick.

hopefully SF will do a series of interviews with designers that reveal how they got into fashion.

I was one year below Robert Geller at RISD and helped dress his models for his thesis show. He really is a very sweet, down to earth guy. I am not surprised that he's achieved such a great amount of success, he was an incredible designer even in school.


This is awesome to hear. I love hearing about successful people who are genuine and hard working, and really deserve to be where they are today. It really showed through in the interview as well.

Didnt think I could respect Geller and his work any more than I already did, but I'm guessing part two will prove me wrong again!
