Dear Shaded Viewers,
I was happy to be in London last week for the celebration of John Richmond, the iconic British designer known for his rebellious spirit and rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic. This homecoming marks a significant milestone for Richmond, who has spent years shaping global fashion from Italy, and injected a much-needed dose of punk-infused glamour into London Fashion Week.
Richmond’s choice of the Tate Modern as the venue for his comeback show is nothing short of inspired. By selecting this bastion of contemporary art, the designer made a bold statement about the intersection of fashion and culture. The decision to collaborate with legendary photographer Jamie Morgan further cemented Richmond’s commitment to creating a visual and cultural spectacle that transcends mere clothing. The collection was a manifesto of Richmond’s enduring vision and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of British subculture. It was also the perfect setting to gather his many admirers.
Later,
Diane
