Ep. 17 Rob-O: Roots N Rooftops
Episode description
Rob-O is the Owner and Creative Director of Roots N Rooftops. A menswear brand dedicated to building high quality sustainable goods from the ground up. In this very special and extremely rare episode of Opening Presence - we go behind the scenes and into the creative process of the Roots N Rooftops 2020 debut called 'The Windup Collection' inspired by the 100 year Legacy of Negro League Baseball.
Before the first pitch, we take a trip down memory lane where it all started on the East Coast. Immersing himself in the culture, Rob-O developed his illustration & design skills which created opportunities for him in the fashion industry at iconic brands Ecko Unlimited and Roca Wear. Rob-O then moved to Portland, OR to take on the sportswear industry. As he evolved beyond the big brand ethos of "Chasing cool", Rob-O decided to branch out and doing his own thing. This is his story. Play Ball!
