Robert Yarborough was born in the late 70’s and raised in Queens, New York, in the trend setting capital of America. At an early age, Robert expressed love for Art, receiving many prestigious awards, and working for some of the biggest companies in the world. Graduating with a Bachelors of Fine Arts with honors from St. John’s University, Robert went from an art teacher to a visual merchandiser at retailer, J.C. Penney, where his love of fashion began. He then became the entire art department developing collections for urban wear clothing company First Choice Apparel, which was featured at Magic, tradeshow in Las Vegas, amongst the world’s top designers, generating 4 million dollars in retail sales, receiving many accolades from the likes of Russell Simmons, Karl Kani and Fubu. Robert desired to design clothing that look good, but had more substance. That’s when he established a lifestyle brand that inspires you to live a lifestyle that is Young, Fresh, & Clean called God Given. During the early years of God Given, Robert received a job with Nickelodeon, as Art Director of the apparel and home furnishing department, where he received the rest of his training in fashion. Since 2003, God Given has moved over 15,000 tee shirts without retail merchandising in stores.
