what i am to FASHION: j.Roberts

"j.Roberts Designs" No newbie to fashion, up-and-coming fashion designer Justin Head is on the move and the top is where he's headed!!! His love for fashion and designing began as a small child drawing stick figures, but it wasn't until his junior year in college that he began to show his talent to the world. This passion later matriculated to the creation of his collection, j.Roberts, which is for the woman who is "young, hip and has the need for high-end fashion..."

Justin premiered his 2010 Spring/Summer line at Baltimore Fashion Week where he was one of the headline designers for "The Difference Is In The Style" show. His line consists of powerful colors, prints, Bold blues, reds, Yellow, as well as wonderful metallic golds and silvers that all compliment each other. As I watched the show I was utterly amazed and impressed... by his talent, the way he was able to captivate his vision and his professionalism. Although this was his premiere show, he definitely did not look like a newcomer. His stage presence and demeanor spoke that of a veteran designer who has done this countless times. The colors and prints flowed perfectly. The fits were just right and most importantly everything complimented each other. After the show, he was bombarded by models, agents, reporters, photographers and everyone else, but not once did he ever break his humble attitude and appreciative manner. When I asked him how he felt about everything he stated that "it was almost as if he was having a surreal moment... surprised at how well everyone embraced his vision."


When you ask most designers where their inspiration comes from, they usually draw from other fashion eras and styles, however this is not the case for him. His inspiration comes from the fabric he chooses. He noted that "they speak to him" and it is at that moment when he decides what will come from it. His motivation... "My passion for fashion. I feel as though I should have been here a lot earlier but everything happens for a reason and j.Robert is ready to soar."
