Richard Haines is a Brooklyn-based artist whose career began in the world of fashion
design, where he worked for iconic brands including Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis, and Bill
Blass. In the mid-2000s, he shifted his focus to drawing, quickly gaining recognition
for his elegant, gestural style and keen eye for character and movement. Haines’s work
has been featured in The New York Times, GQ, and Vogue, and he has collaborated
with fashion houses such as Dries Van Noten, Hermes, Prada, and Tiffany’s amongst
others. His drawings, often done on-the-go in sketchbooks or on the backs of menus
and receipts, capture the ephemeral nature of style and street life. With a practice
rooted in observation and driven by intuition, Haines has established himself as a
unique voice at the intersection of art, fashion, and urban culture.
