Robert Lai was born in 1974 in Macao S.A.R, China. He studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and graduated in 1998 with the Cornelia Steckl fashion fellowship award for the best collection.

Robert founded obèse.plein in 2009. The label's aesthetic is mysterious with touches of gothic influence. Dark garments in minimalistic, unisex styles define obèse.plein designs, and refined details such as zippers and asymmetric lengths elevate the unstructured shapes and fluid forms of the collections from the intriguing to the truly spectacular.
