![]() ![]() NATALIA BARR: What was it like to win the H&M Design Award Competition? Pieces from the collection have already appeared in numerous editorials for the likes of V, Dazed, and Vogue Italia, but it won’t be much longer before Quinn’s designs will appear on H&M customers around the world. The star student and prince of prints enchanted the public with his MA collection at the Central Saint Martins Fall 2016 show, where models were not only draped in vivid floral evening gowns, foil jackets, and embroidered veils, but were also covered in Quinn’s own textiles from head to toe. Quinn’s prizes include approximately $53,000 for his brand, a one-year mentorship from H&M, and the opportunity to develop pieces for H&M stores next fall. ![]() The 26-year-old was announced as the winner of the H&M Design Award 2017 last month, selected from eight other international finalists by a fashion-star-studded panel, directed by H&M’s creative advisor Ann-Sofie Johansson. It’s a high-speed, competitive business out there for young fashion designers, but recent Central Saint Martins grad and textile extraordinaire Richard Quinn has earned his stripes-and plaids, and florals, and houndstooth.
