Richard Quinn Taps Clearpay to Create Interest-Free NFTs
info@hypebae.com (HYPEBAE) Fri, 07 Oct 2022 HYPEBAEBreakthrough designer Richard Quinn has teamed up with London Fashion Week partner Clearpay alongside the British Fashion Council, to offer fans a limited-edition rose NFT. Part of Quinn and Clearpay's "London Fashion Week In Bloom" collaboration, the NFT takes cues from the designer's recent Spring/Summer 2023 showcase which took place in September.
When purchasing the NFT, consumers will be able to choose between two options. The first provides access for them and a guest to Quinn's LFW party in Covent Garden, where the designer will be showcasing his most iconic looks to date, alongside a selection of the 23 made-to-order outfits he created in tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The second option sees 35 NFTs accompanied by a limited-edition collection of accessories in a signature Quinn print, comprised of a bucket hat, scrunchie and tote bag. Proceeds from NFT sales are set to be donated to the BFC Foundation, which supports the growth of future designers through education, grant-giving and business mentoring. The partnership will also see Quinn and Clearpay hosting a free exhibition on October 13.
"I'm thrilled to partner with Clearpay to put a unique Richard Quinn stamp on the London Fashion Week celebrations," says Quinn in a press release. "From the creation of the beautiful rose NFT and bespoke merchandise, to our event in Covent Garden and the exhibition open to the public, this will be a true celebration of fashion, and will be a spectacular way to mark this season's London Fashion Week."
A total of 50 NFTs will be available for purchase at £50 each (approximately $55 USD) on October 8 from the In Bloom NFT website.
