LONDON BORN DESIGNER RICHARD QUINN ESTABLISHED HIS NAMESAKE LABEL IN 2016, UPON GRADUATING THE FASHION MA AT CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS.

SPECIALISING IN WOMESWEAR AND TEXTILES HIS COLLECTIONS ARE BOLD AND EMOTIVE CREATING A FORWARD THINKING UNAFRAID VISION. LAST SPRING HE OPENED A TEXTILE PRINT STUDIO IN PECKHAM, SOUTH LONDON. HIS WORK VISITS THE IDEA OF ‘TRANSFORMING A WOMAN INTO A TEXTILE’ BY COVERING HER IN PRINTS. PRINTING DIGITAL TEXTILES REQUIRES FACILITIES, SO THE DESIGNER, HORRIFIED BY THE COST, DECIDED TO CREATE AN OPEN-ACCESS, COST-EFFECTIVE STUDIO WHERE STUDENTS AND FELLOW DESIGNERS COULD DO THIS.
