“This season we wanted to push our garments towards couture, really intricate embroideries, intricate prints, vibrant prints, deep colours and shades. That’s the vision behind the aesthetic of the brand - I guess, it’s couture inspired. Kind of very elegant, and quite sharp cutting. We print all our fabrics (well almost) in house using the Epson technology. We can test everything instantly in our own studio, depth of colour, texture - everything. I want to make beautiful clothes, so we want people to be able to view the collection and women say, “Oh, I love that dress” - Richard Quinn

Companies large and small are affected. Often unknowingly. Sustainability is now often used to leverage sales as the demand for eco-friendly products increases. As a result, the consumer is bombarded with a plethora of unsubstantiated claims and marketing statements of dubious origin.”
