Notes from Richard

Often found sketching from the front row at Fashion Week, he’s known for catching the subtleties that photography can miss: movement, mood, the fleeting moments that define how a garment is truly worn.


What drives his practice is a genuine fascination with the people behind the looks. It’s this curiosity that shapes every line, placing his work in the shared space where art and fashion naturally intersect. Today, he balances a steady flow of collaborations with the simple act of drawing whatever catches his eye - from couture in Europe to the everyday scenes of his Bushwick neighbourhood.
