WHEN IT RAINS IN HEAVEN
In “When It Rains In Heaven,” Robinson reckons with an unstable personal history, relying on core tenets of the Robinson Brown Bible: the stillness of orange, heavy and enduring garments, acceptance of rainy skies, and a rockstar lifestyle. Robinson explores the impossibility of purity from within his childhood home, creating in his bedroom and coming face to face with a heaven that embraces storm clouds. Robinson manifests a personal reconciliation of the divine but taxed life he has launched himself into…disillusioned, but never defeated. Heaven and Hell exist simultaneously in this world; and the moon looked so full until we landed–crash landed in a ditch.
SHE LOVED RED
As the dreamy night sky fades, our carefree youth has slipped by, replaced with responsibilities, and all that remains is faith in an eventual return to paradise. Left on Red...
Visions by rob
A subtle armor, these glasses cast the wearer into a night sky where nobody can see a teary eye or their closed-eye-dream.
27 club
Winehouse, Basquiat, Cobain, Hendrix. “27 Club”, Robinson's second collection embodies the fragile connection of superstar dreams to the realities of human sensitivities. The American blue jeans, tough and reliable, transfuse Americans together from across generations through their denim threads; the 27 club, an exclusive group, collects legendary artists under a mythic status through their mortal yet superhuman success. The “27 Club” denim jeans are wearable manifestations of the traces stars leave behind, threads that guide us towards glory as we honor them.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
These sweatsuits are the Genesis of the church of Robinson Brown. In white, black, and orange, they serve as the opening pages to the bible of Robinson’s creative world. Spiritually inspired and meant to enable a lucid dialogue with the eternal. “Let There Be Light”, it echoes throughout downtown Manhattan, and Robinson Brown has since been a torch-bearer.
Fits
As co-founder and Creative Director of FITS, Robinson was able to share his talent for bringing ideas to life with the streetwear community in greater New York City. FITS, at its height was a collective for designers and brands cultivating a reliable and effective platform for marketing and selling their products. FITS provided a space for hundreds of emerging designers to share and profit from their work, while engaging countless more creatives of all types within a supportive community. And Robinson, as the Creative Director of FITS, was available to the entire community most valuably as an experienced resource and leader.
