Eddie Rodriguez

Born in Havana, Eddie Rodriguez’s sense of style has always been both informed and imbued by the rich heritage and fiery passions for which his native Cuba is known. With over 30 years in the fashion business, Rodriguez has always been inspired by unique and bold design.

As Creative Director for The Men’s Wearhouse and EVP/CCO of the Eddie Rodriguez Division, Eddie Rodriguez was lauded by the press as he launched a new concept and fashion niche in mall apparel retailing.

As Co-founder and CEO of Wilke-Rodriguez, a contemporary menswear market leader for over 15 years, he is the proud recipient of many awards, including Hispanic Designer of the Year and E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year. Most recently, his recognized entrepreneurial talents have led him to serve as CEO for three local Florida firms. Wilke-Rodriguez was sold in the finest stores in the world, including Barneys, Fred Segal, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Isetan as well as company-owned stores in South Beach, Florida and East Hampton, New York.
Rodriguez’s clothes have been worn by many well-known celebrities, including Benjamin Bratt, Bobby Cannavale and Jimmy Smits.

Rodriguez’s philosophy has always been to offer uniquely designed, uncomplicated, versatile, good quality and affordable product appealing to a modern lifestyle that demands options rather than ‘uniform’ dressing.

A dedicated family man, the designer currently lives in Florida with his wife Kim and daughter Isabel. Keeping active and fit as always, he enjoys working out, bike riding and tennis. Spending time with his family often takes him to art museums and live music performances, as well as taking in the fun at the Florida beaches.
