The Award-Winning Roberto Robledo Clothing Company Puts Brand Name and Approximately 2,000 Clothing Patterns Up For Sale and License
Established in 1982, the San Francisco-based Roberto Robledo Company designed contemporary clothing for men and women. Roberto Robledo Company thrived with strong national distribution through leading department stores and fashion apparel boutiques until mid-2003, when the principle partner retired.
(PRWEB) June 27, 2005 – Roberto Robledo Company’s brand name and clothing
patterns are up for license and sale. With the resurgence and interest in ’80s
club clothing gaining momentum, and peak interest still years away, combined
with Robledo’s architecturally-designed timeless fashions, this is a
highly-lucrative opportunity for savvy clothing manufacturers who wish to
broaden their product offering and increase sales.
With his spirited and
unexpected approach to design, Roberto Robledo, who passed away in mid-1992,
brought a new excitement to contemporary American sportswear during his short,
yet impactive, fashion design career. Not only did his work help to establish
San Francisco as a growing West Coast design center during the ’80s, but Roberto
was also a leading influential participant in the development of California’s
Contemporary identity.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Roberto’s
pioneering design concepts were based upon the use of industrial fabrics and
design and modernistic dressing that translated into casual street wear fashions
for men and women. Roberto was one of, if not the first, clothing designer to
incorporate innovative, brightly-colored fabrics, like Tyvek, Polyurethane,
ScotchLight, rubber, and Lycra-based products, featuring large industrial
zippers, metal, grommets, snaps, and Velcro -- elements no other designer had
prioritized as fashion elements.
Roberto’s unique designs and very
advanced fashion sportswear, which bordered on “Club Scene”, “Punk”, and “New
Wave”, were so extraordinary that the influence of his styles literally changed
fashion and revolutionized the fashion industry. Innovative and daring,
Robledo’s designs received national acclaim and recognition and his nylon
parachute jumpsuit, which was to become a Robledo trademark, vaulted him into
the public eye. Roberto Robledo’s unique designs were worn by numerous video
artists during MTV’s early 80’s heyday, including Cindy Lauper, The Thompson
Twins, Joan Jett, Madonna, Klaus Nomi, and countless actresses such as Sophia
Loren and Julie Newmar.
After relocating from New York City to San
Francisco in 1982, Roberto’s direction changed to architectural design concepts
using geometric lines and shapes to create modern, day-to-day clothing with
multiple functions that were softer, cleaner, and more comprehensible in look.
This was in part to his fabric choices. Heavy nylon and dazzle were replaced by
luxurious fabrics of all natural fibers such as silk crepe de chine, silk
broadcloth, silk and wool, and subtle brushed cottons. Roberto quickly developed
a reputation for transforming traditional fabrics into updated, defined
silhouettes with superb attention to detail and construction. Additionally,
Roberto Robledo was the originator of the Funnel Neck, as well as the Bandit
Neck design feature, a brilliantly simple design element that could be fashioned
into five unique, functional looks. Roberto’s versatility was evident in the
range of his designs -- from the clean and modern to the body-conscious and
trendy.
A leader in San Francisco’s fashion industry and a California
fashion design star with a national reputation, Roberto was nominated for the
California Apparel Mart’s “Marty” award in both 1985 and 1986. San Francisco
Focus Magazine awarded Roberto its “Golden Shears” award for design excellence
twice, added him to its Best Dressed List in 1986, and in 1987; he was installed
in its Hall of Fame.
