Robert Spangle is the photographer and designer behind Observer Collection.
Life as a Marine sparked an interest in travel & an experientially rich life. Leaving military service, he studied bespoke tailoring at Maurice Sedwell on Savile Row. After learning jacket, trouser & waistcoat drafting & making he returned to studying design at Otis College of Art and Design, while working as a fashion photographer traveling the world for publications like Esquire, British GQ, The Rake, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Monrowe, and Popeye.
The Observer Collection aims to encourage travel by imparting a perpetual feeling of home through style & ritual. Functionally and stylistically, it reflects on a lifetime of travel, from austere military campaigns to the height of luxury, while constantly looking forward to a world where the creative elite travel continuously.
