Richard Quinn's LFW show proved that fantasy and performance are possible even when you have little resources.
Lines snaked around the street outside East London’s York Hall, where the spring 2020 Richard Quinn show was set to take place, with guests waiting more than 40 minutes post the scheduled start time to be let in.The feeling of fantasy and the grandiose were apparent from the moment you set foot in the old sport’s hall, transformed with a big crystal chandelier, blush pink carpet and arrays of flowers, next to which the Philharmonia orchestra was set up to play live.
He telegraphed his message by dialing up the volume and the glamour, in an even bolder way than previous seasons. He super-sized the bow embellishments or the sleeves on his much-loved puff-sleeve minis; added extra layers of tulle under bold leopard print balloon dresses for an added dose of drama; mixed florals with feathers and piled up the crystals on the trims of miniature, lampshade-shaped dresses, even adding crystal tights to match.
The show was divided in sections — starting with retro polka dot prints and florals, moving on to more embellished pieces, followed by a more somber section — with moments of silence in between, which created emotional build-up. She didn’t, but a group of toddlers dressed in feather headpieces took to the catwalk alongside the models, including Jacquetta Wheeler, Erin O’ Connor, Jade Parfitt, Cecilia Chancellor and Jean de Villeneuve.
