RICHMOND
John Richmond was born in Manchester and later moved to London, where
he completed his studies at Kingston University in 1982. He immediately
created a collection under his own name, and soon emerged as a leading
exponent of the British avant-garde. The current collections are organised
in two lines: the first line “John Richmond”, and the diffusion line
“RICHMOND” containing both a prêt a porter and denim range.
John Richmond is a celebration of the energy, creativity and
unpredictability of youth and street culture. Each line is heavily
influenced by musical movements, blended with “street chic”, John’s own
irreverent style and luxurious precision. These fundamental elements of
the philosophy have led to the iconic slogans “Destroy, Disorientate,
Disorder”, “Diamond Dog” and “Eat Cake”. John’s close ties with the music
industry have led him to dress stars such as Madonna, Mick Jagger and
Annie Lennox.
The range of product categories is continuously expanding: in addition to
eyewear, underwear and beachwear, the junior line and the footwear, there
are now plans for the launch of a John Richmond fragrance and a licensing
agreement for watches and jewellery.Other projects include the expansion
of RICHMOND stores dedicated to the men’s and women’s X and Denim lines,
showcasing the younger diffusion ranges to the global market. This project
will entail the opening of a hundred stores in the world’s main markets by
2011.
