Veni, Vidi, VERDI

An interview with Robert Verdi

By Reinaldo Irizarry 

For those of you that don’t recognize him immediately, Robert Verdi is a New York staple, known for his TV work on Full Frontal Fashion, Surprise by Design, and a little movie called The Devil Wears Prada. Verdi is also a highly sought-out personal stylist for celebrity clients like Eva Longoria, Hugh Jackman, and Kathy Griffin. This self-made machine has his hands on everything posh and his name is synonymous with all-things style.

Some people say they are fashionably late just to say it, while others actually live by it. Let’s take Robert Verdi for example, who was 20 minutes late to our scheduled interview. He walks in, making an entrance as the casual fab-god that he is wearing designer denim jeans with an intricate pattern shirt, a navy jacket, his signature sunglasses on his head, and an eye-catching “look at me” diamond encrusted necklace. It was so worth the wait. Although he doesn’t visit San Diego often, he obviously loves looking fabulous when he does.

Reinaldo Irizarry: How did you break into fashion? Did the industry select you?

Robert Verdi: It did select me. I was featured in a cover story in The New York Times’ Style Section on a Sunday in 1998 and a regional cable channel called me and asked me to come on as a guest.

Then I became interested in the industry and then, I guess, it expanded.
