Damn...is that a lace cuff coat in 44?! :drool:

Yeah, the red mesh tank would've been great. Not sure if I like the SS14 style of mesh tanks...

Just curious, don't you guys sweat with all those layers on? I'm sweating just looking at some of those pictures!

Do you guys not feel like Geller has been consistently inferior with regards to fabric and quality when it comes to his contemporaries such as Tim Coppens.
Think this is a conscious decision?

Unfortunately, we'll be starting our presale program a season late. We just couldn't figure out the logistics for SS14, but we'll be working hard in the interim.

We will be stocking a micro-selection of Robert Geller things for the upcoming season, just a few pieces in "normal" size runs. Right now, I'm going to be picking up:

1) The 3/4 sleeve trucker jacket in Grey
2) The tencel flight pants in khaki
3) The tencel bomber (with the straps, that you saw on the runway show) in black.

and I was thinking about picking up the zipper blazer, in black. It also comes in khaki. Is there any preference for one color over another? Is there another item that you guys would like to see instead of the zipper blazer?

And does anyone need any particular size in any of these items. We are not preselling, but if you want any of this in a particular size, please email me at [email protected], and I'll try to make sure that we stock your size.

I am finalizing the order over the weekend, so if you want something

Cheers,

Fok.

Curious, any ETA for this stuff coming in and will the pricing just be standard retail? Stockists are just now receiving first shipments of S/S 14.

No. The fabric on all the geller stuff I've had has been quite good. Also coppen's stuff isn't really a good comparison as it's substantially more expensive.

it was a really fun time. we had maybe ten minutes to shoot between buying appointments, and robert and I were running around grabbing pieces for art to shoot. most of the pieces are ones he picked personally.

the long coat with the funnel neck jacket is his favorite piece in the collection!

It's interesting how the pieces look so different when not paired with the soldier cap.

(For me - they're harder to judge with the hat, the in person pics are way easier to parse)

The outerwear has a crazy duality to it - two types of jackets/coats merged into one.
Nylon parka merged with wool overcoat merged with leather jacket.

It's like Matrix Geller.
Even single pieces look layered!

Definitely a sick collection.

The outerwear is the real standout for me. And that iteration of the zipper blazer could potentially be the best.

Not into the neoprene though - it's pricey too, so I can't see many stockists purchasing.

I like the CP track shoes too, but they would have to reach deep discount for me to cop.

Zip blazer must kop of course, fabric looks great, and new harrington style side pockets, makes it look cozy, perfect for fall.
Blue and gold CP track shoes are a must have...mostly b/c of school colors

...hopefully they'll reach pretty deep discounts if they get carried somewhere.
Definitely getting some knits and sweaters, just won't know until handled...and what gets bought...
Denim dinner jacket thing looks interesting too...
Fritz moto makes a comeback...doesn't look like they changed anything with it, but I could be wrong
Navy wool 4 pocket jacket looks like a staple, but a little boring...
...compared to that high neck fur fishtail tailored jacket thing, which is a standout.
