Obsession of the Day - Robert Geller Summer Bomber Jacket

This amazing Robert Geller lightweight jacket thats perfect for spring/summer has been attracting my eyes all day long. Beautifully crafted with panels of grey, purple, beige and sky blue, this jacket captures the lighter side of the German born/NYC based designer. The double-zipper and epaulets are just some of the details on this piece that add to the elegance of this piece. Also, note the color sequencing on the arms, starting from a military beige at the epaulets and shoulders, to grey, and then purple at the wrists.

Legendary Collections - Vol 2. - Cloak Fall/Winter 2004

Few fashion shows have ever garnered such a cult status as Cloak's fall/winter 2004 renegade runway magnum opus. The New York based duo consisting of Marc Jacobs alumni Alexandre Plokhov and Robert Geller became defunct following spring/summer 2007, but has still managed to retain their popularity, which can be seen all over internet forums like superfuture or stylezeigest where scrambling for key runway pieces is not uncommon. Anyways, the f/w 2004 show was filled with Victorian inspired coats and trousers, but with an unmissable bad-ass twist. Que gothic music from the likes of Love and Rockets and Jesus and the Mary Chain, hauntingly styled hair and religious pendants and you get the image. The power of the collection was driven in the moody details, leather gloves and scarfs, incorporated into perfectly executed layering of dark, mostly brown and grey tones, elevate this collection to legendary. 2:53 in the video is the perfect image for the collection, hair wavered enigmatically, rolled up sleeves over gloves, waxed (or leather?) pants, and a legendary flight vest, with cross hidden in the depths of the models chest.
