design dish : Donald Robertson

My latest Instagram infatuation has to be the handy work of Donald Robertson. This arteest seems to have creativity oozing out of him, whipping up pieces of artwork on the fly, using anything from a grocery bag, to money, to toilette paper. Aside from mediums, he doesn't discriminate with tools, utilizing acrylics, magazine clippings, and colored gaffer tape to boot.

Come to find out, this creativity is no secret to the industry. Donald Robertson is currently the Creative Director of Bobby Brown.  He’s also had stints at some of the most prestigious magazines, such as: Glamour, Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire.  In fact, he was one of three original founders of MAC cosmetics where he helped launch VivaGlam raising over $260 million globally in the fight against AIDS (ref Ocean Violet). 

More recently, Robertson collaborated with Giles Deacon and the brand GILES (in his namesake) for his Spring/Summer 2014 collection, which debuted this past September at London Fashion Week. Deacon used Robertson's quintessential lip impressions on select textiles, which have since been seen on the likes of Georgia May Jagger, seen fondling the LOVE Magazine's mascot Clara the rabbit (below)
