FIT is so cool. I just finished doing a presentation for my friend HeidiBeuteDesign’s class on Color & Color Forecasting. Such a great bunch of students, very observant and lots of questions. There was a lot to talk about since my work centers color, but also because I address issue around textile production, consumption and waste. I included content from one of the slides I made specifically for the class and images of the iconic sculpture that graces 7th ave and 27th st. “Eye of Fashion” and Dear to my heart! #RobertCronbach

I’m excited to be in a fun pop-up this weekend at The DVAA, in Narrosburg, NY. This unique show brings together fine artists and florists for collaborative projects. My grandfather was a flower grower, my mom and brother had an exotic plant business and I worked in flower shops as a young man. So when approached about the project, I was immediately inspired. I’ll be collaborating with the lovely and talented Kathy Lawless. Please stop by, the piece is wild.

Happy Independence Day, 250 years of radical imperfection. A complete disaster, and hands-down, the best option we have.  This AM, I was in Jeffersonville, NY. A quintessential, small American town. And to my surprise, I felt proud and optimistic. I love my community, all differences aside.   At the local Pecks market, I was happy to find an American flag (made in America).   Love to you all!   #americas250thbirthday @ilovejeffny #pecksmarket
