A whirlwind of opinion and pop culture, Robert’s a Jersey boy-cum jewelry designer-cum television host-cum lifestyle expert-cum rising superstar. Design denizens adore his keen eye for color, homemakers hail his quick fixes for fixer-uppers, and fashion experts cling to the edge of their front row seat during fashion shows anticipating his kiss of couture death or delight. Robert Verdi’s name is synonymous with style.
Verdi was raised in suburban New Jersey and got a taste for the finer things in life by watching his Portuguese mother—a skilled dressmaker—and noshing on culinary delights prepared by his father, a French chef. Quickly dismissing his parent’s American dreams of becoming a doctor or lawyer, rebellious Verdi instead began designing and making jewelry, spending his senior year in high school playing hooky and high-tailing it over the Hudson to sell baubles in the Manhattan streets and to downtown boutiques.
It proved a lucrative business for this precocious entrepreneur. His persistence, a degree from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, and a lot of talent lead to jewelry showcases in Manhattan’s fabulous four Bs—Barney’s, Bendel’s, Bloomie’s and Bergdorf. In the early ‘90s, Verdi redirected his pursuits towards a television career, beginning with a stint as a fashion reporter on Gay Entertainment Television.
It was all up from there. In 2000, Robert changed the way America sees fashion when he co-created and co-hosted the groundbreaking show Full Frontal Fashion on Metro TV. It was the first show to bring nonstop coverage of Fashion Week into America’s living rooms. In 2002, Robert began co-hosting Surprise by Design, which would become the Discovery Channel’s highest rated daytime show. Then Robert joined E! Entertainment Television as their voice of fashion and was charged with covering the red carpet.
He also began hosting Fashion Police, a weekly insider’s look at the world of fashion and style. Robert is one of the most highly recognizable faces in the world of fashion today and has been invited to guest star as himself on UPN’s Eve, ABC’s Hope & Faith, and in the motion picture The Devil Wears Prada, opposite Meryl Streep. Verdi has also appeared as the in-the-know interior design and fashion expert on The View, Regis & Kelly, The Today Show, CNN Headline News and VH1’s The Fabulous Life.
Robert’s talents aren’t limited to television or the big screen—he’s also written columns for the magazines InsideTV and The Daily and has applied his design virtuosity to help update the digs and the duds of A-listers like Eva Longoria, Hugh Jackman, Sandra Bernhard, Mariska Hargitay, Bobby Flay and Joely Fisher.
