Meet Robert Craig Jr. 
Sponsored by Hair Royalty

Robert's love for design began at the early age of 15, as a sophomore in high school.  He first began designing for one of his cousins.  His first design project started off with ease with cotton fabric and the Sunday comic portion of the newspaper.  Robert continued to design through high school, participating in the Home Economics department annual spring fashion show under the teachings of Mrs. Bernadette Gwizadoski.  Shortly after graduating high school, he attended Livingstone College and Norfolk state university where he majored in business and design.  Robert also attended the fashion institute of technology in New York City where he studied millinery.  
 
Presently, Robert is still designing men's and women's clothing, wedding couture and head dressings.  Through his career Robert has had great mentors to influence his creativity.  To name a few, his parents, Robert and Josephine Craig, Morris and Debra Heard, Ella B.A. Gordon and Ms. Pat McDaniel, all of which have influenced his design esthetic.  Robert has a huge clientele in Washington D.C., the tri- state area and Detroit Michigan.  One of his noteworthy clients was Karen Clark-Sheard of the infamous gospel group, The Clark Sisters
