About Me

In retrospect her career might seem to have been launched from her childhood bedroom in a stylish apartment in upper Manhattan, where at an early age Eve Robinson demonstrated a decided interest in matters of fashion and design. From there, Robinson and family moved to a house in Riverdale, which she vacated for a dorm at Vassar to study art and art history. After graduation she took successive jobs in fashion (she'd been an intern at Seventeen while still in high school), at Estée Lauder and Ralph Lauren, which proved insufficiently challenging. Her mother, well acquainted with her daughter's discerning eye, suggested classes at the Parsons School of Design. That was the ticket.

Robinson’s first job in the field was with Victoria Hagan, whose strong sense of proportion and even-handed integration of styles had a profound impact on Robinson's own assured style. Among Robinson’s signatures is a taste for pieces whose heritage is not obvious, "that raise questions about when and where it might have been made." Provenance is of little importance to her, as is historical correctness. "I could never do a period room," she says. "To achieve timelessness requires a mix of styles."
