New York-based Nigerian designer, Washington Roberts has carved an niche for himself in the international market. He left the shore of Nigeria upon collection of his high school and faced with the unique challenges in the USA, was able to create a niche.

 From a very young age, Roberts began the hobby that would later become his career and passion. Born in West Africa on January 12, Washington was raised by his grandmother, Beatrice, a devout seamstress whose influence on Washington would later impact his life and his career. Beatrice’s attention to detail, steady hand and highly coveted seamstress skills were absorbed and practiced by young Washington, who adored his grandmother and watched her carefully.

Inspirations for his Latest Collections
  My latest collection has been designed and crafted entirely by me. For this collection, photos of beach rocks inspired me. The shape and the layering of the stones on top of one another made me think of drapes. The textures of the beach rocks also induced me combining different fabrics together. Fabrics such silk and wool, silk jersey and Crepe back satin silk.
 All colors used were colors of the rocks. I also envisioned that the wearer of my designs, the women who are strong and beautiful as the rocks on the beach, would bring life to the sensuous and colorful creations that I have designed. I hope you feel as inspired by my designs as I have been while creating them
