Robert Geller (born 1976, in Hamburg, Germany) is a German-born American fashion designer.[1]
He graduated with a degree in fashion design at RISD in 2001 and moved to New York to join Marc Jacobs shortly after.[2]
In New York, Geller met Alexandre Plokhov, a patternmaker, and partnered up with him at menswear brand Cloak, which went on to win the Ecco Domani award in 2003 and the Vogue/CFDA Grant in 2004. Geller left Cloak after the Fall 2004 collection. Cloak finally closed down in Spring 2007.[2]
In 2006, Geller launched a women's line called Harald. Initially meant to only be knitwear, the line grew into a full collection. This helped Geller secure financial backing for a menswear label under his own name.[2] In Fall 2007 Robert Geller menswear debuted at New York Fashion Week.[3]
In 2024, Geller became lead designer of men's clothing at fashion company Rag & Bone.[4]
Geller received the GQ Best New Menswear Designer Award in 2009.[5][6] Geller was a finalist for the 2010 CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund prize, and won CFDA Swarovski Award for Menswear in 2011.[5]
He is married to fashion designer Ana Beatriz Lerario, designer of Lerario Beatriz.[7] The couple met while working together at Marc Jacobs.[8]
