Richard Quinn always delivers on spectacle, and autumn/winter 2023 was no different. The Peckham-based designer took inspiration from a secret garden when conceiving of his set – although gimp suits were notably absent from Mary Lennox’s Yorkshire idyll. “I wanted to create a secret English garden that everyone’s invited to,” he toldNative Share“And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles,” the 10-year-old Mary noted in 1911.
“I love a moment that’s really emotional and heart-wrenching when you watch a show,” says Quinn. Guests at his spring/summer 2023 show – which he dedicated to the Queen following her death on 8 September 2022 – will remember such a moment came when archive footage of her 1953 coronation played on a screen overlooking the show space, to the strains of This Mortal Coil’s haunting cover of Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren”.
The familiar Quinn flourishes – Latex gloves, ballooning opera coats and exuberant feathers – were all there, but the volume had been turned down a touch. “This collection is more ambitious in terms of textile and technique,” says Quinn, who remains obsessed with “real pageantry”. But “it’s a more toned down version of things”, adds the designer, who has renewed his focus on his core client, her world, and what she wears.
