Robert Geller
German fashion designer
Robert Geller (born 1976, in Hamburg, Germany) is a German-born American fashion designer.
Early life and education
He graduated with a degree in fashion design at RISD in 2001 and moved to New York to join Marc Jacobs shortly after.
Career
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.
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. In Fall 2007 Robert Geller menswear debuted at New York Fashion Week.
In 2024, Geller became lead designer of men's clothing at fashion company Rag & Bone.

Why this record matters
“Robert Geller” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Robert, Geller and German provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7344705. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2001, 2003 and 2004.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
