Imagine overstated, happy, colorful. polka dotted, over the top, prints mixed with smiling models kaleidoscopic colors and big on statements and that would be all present and accounted for here.

Be dammed with salability, vapid inspirations with utility and bring in design and bring in the joy of fashion because that’s what is here. Inventive, designed planned out and jaw-dropping clothes that will make women of a certain taste level lust, drool and crave clothes that actually look like couture. No, these are not wallflower clothes, they are literally SCREAMING look at me and they are well worth looking at.

Do I wish they were a little less styled in terms of the head coverings and the thigh high matching boots…?  yes but hell this is a show not some  modern  dance troop dancing around some boring clothes ... this is a fashion parade that has no competition thus far, yes, it’s a pity that Carolina and Oscar used some similar shapes and fabrics  but put into each of their contexts  and you see there is a totally  different  vibe.

I’m not big on inflated sleeves but they are part and parcel of this amazing statement of overstatement…   yes, this is the wonder of fashion,, this is what brings audiences to their feet catcalling  … it’s called excitement… you remember that … the days when the shows were chock a block with clothes that made you anxious to see what was coming next and not who was wearing what and who was sitting in the first row and where the freakin event was held… clothes glorious fabulous creatively designed clothes!

Richard Quinn LFW spring 2020


As off the wall as this might appear, Richard Quinn captures what the runways are supposed to evoke. The clothes, on the face, are over the top, extreme, flamboyant, extravagant, exaggerated and a whole lot of of FUN.

These are clothes that you want to see close up and you wonder what they really look like when all the eye popping details are stripped away. Clearly this man knows his way around a dress and has a vocabulary equivalent to some of the greats of the haute couture.

Quinn in one 15 minute show gave us all something to smile about and remember when fashion was full of fantasy, inspiration, aspiration and flights of fancy while never straying from the art and craft of fashion design and that is the reason I write this.

After 2 withering weeks of NYFW week where every possible freakish aspect of fashion  was exhibited, where every diversity was  so overly politically correct and where people who are not designers and have no concept of what fashion is all about  had the opportunity to display themselves as part of a fashion freak show… Richard Quinn is the antidote or even the antichrist!

Quinn could easily be what Moschino was meant to be and beneath all the frolic of this collection there is man who understands the slick and chic of fashion…. You just have see beyond what’s in front of you.
