For Bobby Lord Hawkins, it’s all getting the balance right. His is a minimalist take on glamour and luxury, opting for subtle and sexy over wham-bam prominence. He takes inspiration from the glamorous old days, to the streetwear of cities such as, New York, LA, and Seattle. Born in Hokkaido, Japan, Bobby began sketching at an early age in Olongapo, Philippines and began making clothes as a teenager in Waipahu, Hawaii. Bobby studied at Fashion Design and Technology (FIT) in New York graduating with a degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising. Following an internship with Sean John’s women’s wear line he moved back to Seattle to be close with his family and friends and to enhance his aesthetic vision as a fashion designer.  
“Growing up a Multi-racial child on Military Bases throughout Asia and Pacific Islands, I’ve always been a person that’s out of context with my environment and I like to create thinking that kind of individual, an outsider who likes cool and fierce things.”
