THE ROBSON SPINELLI PROJECT
Robson ventured his way into the Triangle from Los Angeles while working in film/television studios in Wilmington. While here, he realized like everyone else, what a great area the Triangle is economically. Being from Italy and Brazil, Robson was also appreciative of the option of both mountains and ocean in NC. He settled comfortably into the North Carolina lifestyle and decided to make the Triangle his home base for his travels between LA and Brazil.
For many professionals like engineers and scientists, the Triangle is a logical choice to explore your options in careers. But in the world of Fashion- local designers, textile makers, stylists, and many others often leave the Triangle area to pursue better job opportunities in larger cities.
With over thirty years experience, Robson is sharing his knowledge and teachings from his travels, and entertaining Triangle residents with The Robson Spinelli Project. The RS Project is working with Triangle Fashion Week to promote a positive environment where local artists in the world of creative arts can flourish and feel inspired. The RS Project team is made up of many local talents from wardrobe stylist Lee Stalcup, makeup artists/hair stylists- Donnie Whitsett, Chablis Lovingood, Bethany Wish, and Tracie Richard, to our exclusive season 2011 photographer Dimitri Williams Photography.
Robson partnered with event producer Amanda Manares of Evince Planning|Consulting, and together they developed the concept for The Robson Spinelli Project. Now, in it’s second year of production, The RS Project is the closing showcase of Triangle Fashion Week September 16th-25th. www.trifashionweek.com
There’s no denying that clothes, shoes and accessories are the staples of most fashion statements, but combine a killer wardrobe with expertly designed hair, and you’ve got a fashion masterpiece. The Robson Spinelli Project is a fashion show that will take the hottest trends in wardrobe, jewelry, and shoes and combine them with Spinelli’s creative hair designs, from the classic to the unimaginable.
As a master in the hair field, Spinelli has worked on movie sets in Los Angeles, and has performed in Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, and the United States. Come out for Triangle Fashion Week and see his wonderful designs and a production unique to the Triangle. The Robson Spinelli Project is being held at Babylon on September 23, 2011. www.babylonraleigh.com
