Robert Rodriguez

Many things have influenced the life of Designer Robert Rodriguez; but it was Christian Dior that played an integral role. At the age of four, Robert moves with his family from Cuba to Miami. After school he works at his mother’s clothing factory sewing shirt collars. Robert’s mother gave him a book on Christian Dior and it was that book that became Robert’s bible and doorway into the world of fashion couture.

Robert Rodriguez attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York where he was recognized for his beautiful and unique designs and received the prestigious Critics Award for Best Designer of the Year.

After completing his education, Robert Rodriguez accepted a Design position ironically working for Christian Dior under the guidance of Marc Bohen and Geri Gerald. Robert’s exceptional artistry and styling skills as well as his commitment to elegant dressmaking quickly gained him recognition among his peers and within the industry. Robert was inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of American (CFDA) in 2010.
