About the brand

Richard Quinn is a London-based fashion designer who launched his eponymous brand in 2016 after graduating from Central Saint Martins. Known for theatrical couture and bold floral prints, the brand gained international recognition when Queen Elizabeth II attended Quinn's runway show in 2018, marking the first time the monarch attended a commercial fashion show. Quinn was subsequently awarded the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. The brand operates from an in-house print studio in Peckham, London, where Quinn creates decadent womenswear that blends beautiful theatricality with playful, exuberant designs. His signature aesthetic features overblown florals, dramatic silhouettes, and unexpected materials. The brand offers both ready-to-wear collections and bespoke pieces, with stockists including Liberty of London and Matches Fashion. Quinn's work has dressed celebrities like Amal Clooney and continues to push boundaries in printed fashion through collaborations with brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Mac Cosmetics.

I love Richard Quinn's bold prints and theatrical shows.

Honestly, you cannot fault him. It's a gorgeous collection almost flawless in it's execution. That navy gown with the floral embroidery, the lavender against the black, the mint green gown, the harlequin dress. Really just quite gorgeous.

Stunning! For women who love elegance and want to be seen and admired.

However, he's taken the name he has made for himself and fine-tuned it into a mainstream modern romantic filled with impeccably cut tulle and formal florals—and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.

That's the vision behind the aesthetic of the brand – I guess, it's couture-inspired. Kind of very elegant, and quite sharp cutting. We print all our fabrics (well almost) in-house using Epson technology. We can test everything instantly in our own studio, depth of color, texture – everything. I want to make beautiful clothes, so we want people to be able to view the collection and women say, “Oh, I love that dress”.

The Cut

Quinn, in the tradition of English society designers like Bellville Sassoon and Norman Hartnell, makes elegant clothes. They are undeniably pretty and well-done, but the conventional feminine cuts and trims made me think of another London designer, the fictional Reynolds Woodcock, in the movie Phantom Thread.

Who What Wear

You'll instantly know Quinn for his bold prints, textiles that play with high fashion sensibility and tongue-in-cheek kink, and for being the only person ever to have Queen Elizabeth II sit front row at his London Fashion Week show.

Quiet luxury is not really part of Quinn's vocabulary. He went for exuberant luxury instead, punctuating many of his looks with rosettes and bows. The proportions, too, were maximalist: sweeping floral gowns, opera coats, and a red-and-white valentine of a dress. The detail work felt of another time, with pieces carefully encrusted in sequins or embellished with sprays of feathers.

With each collection, Quinn has stayed true to that perspective, never bending even as the mood trended towards minimalism.

Well made, slightly tacky and terribly old fashion. I'm tired of early 90s overdone Chanel references. It's not appealing, exciting or provoking to me. All I see in Mr Quinn's work is a great deal of confusion despite a real knowledge in clothes-making.
