Richard Quinn’s Epic Comeback Featured Drag Race UK’s Bimini And Tayce

Having wowed the world (including the Queen herself) with his floral, pearl-encrusted fashion fests, Richard Quinn went quiet for the past two seasons, eschewing the digital London seasons which emerged from the pandemic. But idle he was most certainly not. As well as making PPE for front-line workers, Quinn has also been working on a fashion film that, after a year of lockdowns, is a creative feast in every sense of the word.

This is Quinn's take on Hollywood – a film that's not just showcasing his autumn/winter 2021 collection but bringing it to life. Enlisting an all-star cast including Drag Race UK's Bimini Bon Boulash and Tayce, as well as models Lila Moss and Lily Cole, Quinn also recruited the Dane Bates Collective dance company, providing them with employment at a time when most theatres remain closed.

There were latex-clad cats and dogs, gargantuan ballgowns and dresses so ornate, they are their own works of art. Even the sets were decorated in Quinn's bold floral prints, including grand pianos and taxis.

Speaking toVogue__, Quinn said: This is a total celebration of creativity. It’s a real fuck you to the pandemic, and shows just what we can do when everything is shut. It was a go big or go home moment.'

Big is most certainly where Richard Quinn went. And we're all ready to follow.
