(Thought Bubble) "A tough masculinity and artistic subtlety, both are important."
The New York designer relates his city and fashion."I don't know of any other city that is filled with such a dangerous, powerful energy. It takes in people, as well as everything around them, in a kind of disorder," narrates Robert Geller, speaking about New York, the city he calls home. Since coming to the United States from his native Germany in order to study fashion, Geller has become a fashion representative of New York. "Taking a base of strength and romanticism, a very manly style, I add the fine details of art and music. Strength alone is not enough, and soft sensitivity by itself is not enough. The sensation of mixing both is what's important."
