Robert Spangle is a man of many talents. A man who tinkers; a designer whose life is reflected in every stitch and cut of his utilitarian and elegant creations. A tailor from Savile Row with a profound sense of style, who travels the world making his observations with a Leica in tow. A soldier, who served in reconnoissance in Afghanistan for the United States Marines.

Robert’s life colors his art, and gives character to his myriad works. Whether words and photography for some of the world’s leading publications, or his own brand of Observer Collection products, you’ll find parts of a life well-lived imbued in every piece.

We are pleased to share part of his story with you on our latest installment of Profiles in Light.
