The Well-Proportioned Times–Robert Geller takes his signature style and reinvents the wheel with a new focus on shape and proportions. Working in leather and mesh as well as a seasoned color palette of subdued hues, Geller gradually transferred the focus from soft tailoring to ensembles with a little edge. From a relaxed double-breasted jacket to a cropped coat or parka with ballooned sleeves, the outerwear did a great deal of the work in a collection where layered shirting took on an easy pacing. Whether it was a button-down with small lapels, a boxy short-sleeved number or a lengthened mesh top, Robert Geller’s latest collection resulted in a spring collection that juxtaposed a modern sophistication with an effortless cool.

But as well as drawing attention to a good cause, I’d also like to draw attention to how to draw attention to a good cause; because We Don’t Care Inc. have done that so well.

Sometimes there’s nothing better (and easier) than a basic overlaid with a statement necklace. In my own view of a curated wardrobe those statement jewellery pieces are key: they allow you to rework your basics into numerous looks depending on the accessories you pair them with.
Latest obsession: these necklaces by Marion Vidal. They ooze exotic glamour as if pulled from the Art Deco era, yet have a cleanly modern finish. Any little black dress would benefit from the addition of one of these.
