Robert Geller’s Innovative Take on Rag & Bone’s Resort 2026 Collection

At the recent showcasing for Rag & Bone’s resort 2026 collection, Robert Geller expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This is one of my favorite collections that I’ve done here at Rag & Bone.” This marks Geller’s fourth season as the creative lead for the menswear line, and it is clear that he has successfully struck a balance between respecting the heritage of the brand while infusing his unique stylistic vision into the garments.

The collection embodies the essence of Rag & Bone, particularly emphasizing denim, which remains a cornerstone of the label’s identity. However, Geller has introduced a fresh layer of creativity, experimenting with materials and styles that reflect contemporary tastes. Notably, he has partnered with three distinguished mills in Japan, leading to the development of distinctive denim styles, including a chic silk blend from the renowned Kaihara mill that features a subtle sheen, elevating the fabric’s allure.

In a testament to his commitment to the brand, Geller took on the styling of this collection himself. This hands-on approach showcases his deep involvement in the entire creative process, from conception to final presentation. One standout look features a model clad in a knit vest layered over a chambray shirt. Unlike the traditional pairing with a white button-up, which could lend a more preppy aesthetic, Geller’s styling choices convey a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. “Overall, it’s wanting to find this balance of casual with the more elevated and mixing it in a way that still feels kind of cool,” he commented. “Not too precious and not too dressed up but still beautiful.”

The overarching theme of Geller’s direction for this collection is a harmonious blend of laid-back elegance with a modern twist, making it accessible yet distinctly appealing. This approach not only enhances the brand’s narrative but also reflects current trends in menswear, where versatility and individual expression remain paramount.
