Robert Godley

Robert Godley (born 7 July 1971 in Whitstable, Kent) is a British designer of men’s clothing. Godley spent nearly his entire adult life in fashion, working for David Evans & Co. Silk Printers (London), Mantero Silk Printers and Weavers (Como, Italy), and Drakes of London. Godley designed ties for gentleman’s bespoke clothier Turnbull & Asser in London from 1996–97 and Drakes of London from 1997-2004 before being asked to the United States from London to serve as Creative Director for Polo Ralph Lauren.

In 2005, Godley founded Psycho Bunny with friend and business partner Robert Goldman. Psycho Bunny "uses English silks made in a 270-year-old mill that are then sewn by hand in Mr. Goldman's family-owned third-generation tie workshop in Belleville, N.J. The collection has grown to include polo shirts, swim trunks and socks." Handmade from English silk, Psycho Bunny neckwear features everything from tiny spades to Donnie Darko-style rabbit skulls, the latter inspiring the label's oddball name. "When I showed that tie to a buyer, she said, 'Look at the psycho bunny!'" Godley says. "The name stuck." Since the initial launch of the Psycho Bunny neckwear collection, the brand has expanded into multiple categories including polo shirts, cashmere scarves & socks, and other men's apparel items.

Godley became engaged to actress Jane Krakowski in December 2009 and their son Bennett Robert Godley was born in April 2011. The pair separated in December 2013. Godley now resides in New York City.
