about richard

After a career working in fashion design, Richard Haines has reemerged as one of today’s most sought-after fashion illustrators. His work captures the style and attitude of New York City trendsetters across all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. A regular presence front row at Fashion Week, he sketches live for clients, distilling nuances often missed by photography.

Driven by a fascination with the people behind the clothes, his work moves beyond pure documentation into a dynamic intersection of art and fashion. He balances global couture commissions with personal studies drawn from everyday life in his beloved Bushwick, Brooklyn neighborhood.
