Today's the day of Richard Quinn's floral abundance:

Fashion print graduate Richard Quinn proves to know
how to create something bold by pushing his design skills
forward: his BA final capsule collection, recently showcased
together with all of this year's graduates at the degree show,
is actually a completely revised tailoring project from his
second year at CSM, a carefree take on couture that has
been wittily hailed as ”cracked couture” by BA fashion
course director Willie Walters. Richard's still a neophyte

Marina Keri and hair by Fumihito Maehara.
Kudos to all of them!
