John Richmond

John Richmond was born in Manchester and studied at Kingston University. He created a collection under his own name and quickly established himself as a leading designer of the British Avant-Garde movement. His collections are organised in to two separate lines; “John Richmond” and “RICHMOND”.

Richmond’s designs produce energy, creativity and unpredictability of youth and street culture. His collections gain influence from musical movements mixed with street ideals, his own individual style and intense precision; shy yet extravagant designs. The range of products continues to expand, already including eyewear, underwear, beachwear, a junior line and footwear.

Richmond is well known for feminising the woman body with neckties and shirts with a masculine cut. Rock, edgy and dark fitted garments also feature in his collections. Richmond is addicted to the rocker trend and enjoys meshing many different fabrics creating pieces of an urban wardrobe.
