Better Late Than Never

It has been far, far too long since I've written a post. For those of you who were reading religiously, I do apologize... For those of you who don't... Please do! I promise I'll be more proactive in attempting to keep you stylishly entertained. Now, back to business...

Robert Geller. As a German-born fashionista, this young fellow always attempts to keep things youthful. These looks from his Spring 2010 collection are no exception. In previous years, Geller has seemed more rocker than chic. This year, he's bringing chic to the front line, yet maintaining the signature flair that is oh-so-unique to him.

One of the first looks of this collection, and already I'm finding myself unable to look away. I love designers who have the ability to use bold colours in such unique, signature ways. Everything about this colour screams disaster, but Geller manages to draw in the reins and create a stunning collage. I am especially drawn to the sheen of the pants. Glorgeous!

As seen in the first look, as well as this one... The bow-belt. Let's face it! Not all of us can afford the must-have genuine leather belt. So, where else might one turn? Geller shows us how... And does so with a touch of grace. Try going for this look with a skinny tie. Don't be afraid to throw in one with some fun patters either. Even try matching bits of the pattern with major colours of the overall outfit.

The jackets in this collection are stunning. I love the double-breasted buttons featured in the black jacket to the left. Geller features olive in the two jackets to the right in an absolutely flawless way. My favourite pairing... Olive with bright pink. While most men would not dare attempt this look, this model nails it. Note the red necklace that's added to off-set the overly bright colour of the pants. If you have a very bold statement colour like the one above, try toning it down with a more neutral colour from the same palette.

I am dyyyyying over this scarf! From the super wide cut, to the sheeny-grey... Stunning! I still can't get over my obsession with dropped crotch pants either. I've been trying to rock the baggier look over the last few months, but still have yet to find the perfect dropped crotch, tapered pants like those featured above. They really are exquisite. Of note in this look... The overly-wide, patent leather belt. Bravo!

Obsessed with this look. Geller does an outstanding job at breathing life back into the jumpsuit. As always, I'm a sucker for the chunky sweater.


This look is my favourite of the collection. Simple. Clean. All with a hint of fun. I have a thing for scoop-neck tees at the moment. They bring style to a very plain look, especially when the cut is not quite symmetrical. Despite my love for the look, what's going on with the model? And more importantly, what's going on with his hair? You'd think they would have been able to afford a better toupee than the one this bumpkin is evidently wearing. Or is that a headband? I can't decide...
