Life and career
 |
Berkley graduated from Boston University in May 1999 with a degree in Communications. Her first job, beginning in June 1999, was at New York public relations firm LaForce & Stevens, as an assistant. Aged 24, she was recruited by Johan Lindeberg as head of PR North America for J. Lindeberg. Here she met Kelly Cutrone who, four years later, hired her as fashion director at People's Revolution, where she was a partner for seven years.[1]
In May 2011, New York Magazine announced that Berkley was leaving People's Revolution to take a yoga teacher-training course in Bali.[2]
David Lynch Collection
Berkley's "David Lynch Collection" line of yoga pants, described as "a range of luxury meditation-ready pieces", was launched in association with the David Lynch Foundation.[3] The name of the collection caused some news outlets to report that Lynch was the collection's designer.[4][5] Alyssa Miller, who modelled the collection, said of the design process, "Robyn was looking for someone who...was familiar with the David Lynch Foundation...so we decided to meet and everything just naturally fell into place from there."[3] InStyle called the line "a surprising success" and reported an "enormous amount of interest", with the product quickly selling out online.[5]
