TAMIL ROBINSON: Grew from an artist, painter and master airbrush artist, to fashion, crediting his caring instructor Eleta Caldwell at the prestigious Performing Arts High School in Newark for his true artistic development where Robinson free hand sketched, drew, painted, and became a classically trained artist. Robinson worked for the architect firm Campos & Associates for two years where he developed and strengthened his eye for perspective, planting a seed for his love of shapes which would later play a major role increating his signature geo-patterns and logo for his own fashion brand, House of AMIAT, which then was in the May issues of UKs VANITY FAIR; GLAMOUR, VOGUE and will be in the June and July issues of VOGUE as well!! Employed at the interior design house Concepts Office Interiors in Fort Lee, NJ, he drew two-dimensional drawings, furniture plans, and gained experience working with textiles. After which AMIAT (All Moods In All Textiles) brand was born with an architectural frame of mind, with a logo that symbolizes strength and balance. Before designing luxury fashion, Robinson kicked-off his journey as a streetwear designer. When Robinson met his fashion mentor Glen Senior, a pattern maker who took him under his wings. Senior urged Tamil to use his natural talents to create textile patterns in his fashion designs, taught Robinson discipline and how to develop a true aesthetic when designing. Robinson learned the business aspect of fashion and began building his fashion connections when he worked in several areas of the design industry. Tamil served as a freelance designer and consultant on Seventh Avenue in New York City, delving into building his sports licensing portfolio with companies like Puma, NFL, and more, which led to working professionally with major corporate companies to design some of the most high-profile apparel projects like the NFL Pro-Bowl All-Star uniforms that Tom Brady, Michael Strahan and other hall-of-famers have worn. Robinson also worked with Reebok’s NBA division where he designed Allen Iverson’s I-3 sports collection. He traveled to other countries like China, Korea, and Japan to learn even more about the fashion business. This gained Tamil the experience of working closely with fabric mills, cut and sew factories and expanded his creative nature. Robinson is proud to announce the launching of the House of AMIAT pillow-stitched, buttery-soft luxury Bags, which exudes impeccable quality and craftsmanship, augmented by plush multi color interior, logoed silk satin lining In his spare time, Tamil enjoys speaking to students at his alma mater, Performing Arts High School, and other schools across the country including Fashion Institute of Technology. However his favorite “hat” to wear is being a devoted husband and father of 5 girls and 2 boys, with a daughter who is a state champion gymnast, with eyes on the upcoming Olympics and is being scouted already.
