John Richmond Revives Rock 'n' Roll at London Fashion Week.
John Richmond, the iconic British designer known for his rebellious rock 'n' roll flair, has always been more popular outside the UK than in his own homeland. Born in Manchester, Richmond graduated from Kingston University in 1982. He quickly gained fame for his bold, edgy designs and started his own collection, while collaborating with brands such as Armani, Joseph Tricot, and Fiorucci. Over the years, he's dressed legendary music stars like Madonna, George Michael, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Annie Lennox, Axl Rose, Bryan Adams, David A. Stewart, Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears.
This year, Richmond's relaunch took place at the Tate Modern, transforming the venue into an immersive fashion experience. The collection images shot by Jamie Morgan were projected onto the grey concrete walls, creating a mesmerizing visual display. The event was a highlight of Winter 2025 London Fashion Week, thanks to the innovative presentation and the vibrant party atmosphere. Instead of a traditional runway show, Richmond hosted a vibrant party with DJs Jodie Harsh, Tiffany Calver, and Keyrah, playing at the event. The party and fashion scenes of London were out in full force, making it a night to remember.
The new collection is an unapologetic celebration of British street style, music, and modern glamour, all infused with Richmond's signature creative flair. From striking silhouettes to daring fabric choices, each piece exudes the rebellious spirit of both the designer and the city that inspired him. Richmond's unique ability to blend rock 'n' roll attitude with modern glamour is evident in this collection.
