Kim Robinson @ Kim Robinson, Hong Kong
A career spanning more than 30 years has taken him from catwalks of the world’s fashion capitals to the pages of Harpers Bazaar, Elle, French Vogue, and has attracted an A-list clientele that has included Princess Diana, Isabella Rossellini, Audrey Hepburn, and supermodels Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Kate Moss.
But Kim Robinson's home and heart are very much where, from Hong Kong base, he has styled some of the continent’s most beautiful women in a career he describes as ‘a most amazing adventure”.
Born in Western Australia, Kim Robinson's love affair with Asian Beauty was kindled as soon as Kim Robinson arrived in Hong Kong from Perth’s rural farmlands. Kim Robinson quickly embraced the fast paced, rapidly changing Hong Kong fashion scene, applying his skills amid the Western style salons of the 70s as wash n’wear perms became the rage and blue jeans, accompanied by a disco beat, replaced the cheongsam.
Kim Robinson headed for Europe where he honed his skills with mentors such as Vidal Sassoon and as the only non-French member of the team of top French coiffure Alexandre d’Paris, he styled for couture collections at Chanel, Lagerfeld, Balmain, Dior and Yves Saint Laurent.
Kim Robinson has worked with some of Asia’s screen greats such as Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh and late Leslie Cheung as well as the Asian artists that appear in the book. Some of his most creative work was with Anita Mui and he credits her with allowing him to explore the boundaries of inventive hair styling.
Today Kim Robinson is Director of kimrobinson , the exclusive boutique salon in Hong Kong where he relished the return of glamour and draws on his experience to reinvent and create new styles in the knowledge that oriental beauty will continue to inspire his creativity.
