Captain Robbo Adventure Pants

“Captain Robbo” as a persona was created somewhere in the midst of working in textile screen-printing factories and hand making hats. I have worked with Melbourne designers, artists and milliners following a solid few years of studying visual art printmaking and fashion at Kangan Tafe, RMIT and SCU. I started making 'adventure pants' after experimenting with pairs for myself, and started to explore different print ideas and options. Somewhere in that moment of exploration adventure pants were born! Each print has it's own story to tell, and when they are worn it creates another layer of life.

To speak to the name - its just me! Way back when I was studying printmaking in the early 2000s I earned the nicknamed Robbo from my last name, Robinson. ‘Captain' comes in with the desire to be self-directed (with an excellent crew) and also a love for all things related to sailing. To be captain of my own ship, taking adventure pants all over the world, is the original dream, which is now, I’m very privileged to say - the reality. Katy xx
