Richard Quinn's SS27 show at London Fashion Week: a mirrored, chandelier-hung room built like a private client fitting, crystal-embroidered gowns in tulle, velvet and silk
Richard Quinn's SS27 show doubled as a shop opening. The house has grown on private clients and made-to-order gowns, and the set was modelled on the fitting those clients get. In an interview published five days before the show, Quinn said richardquinn.com would take online orders for the first time, with ready-to-wear, bridal and bespoke services in one place, "making the brand accessible worldwide". He also said the print, the cut and the embroidery are all done in the same building, and that he thinks of the pieces as "future heirlooms". Over the summer the house sold strictly by appointment, from a private suite at Selfridges in London. The website needs no appointment. Queen Elizabeth II sat front row at his show in 2018 and handed him the first award for British design given in her name.
