ABOUT RICHARD McDOWALL
Born in Manchester, England, Richard McDowall is the Founder and Creative Director at the A SLEEPING SAMURAI® House. It means the world to me that my fashion creations are loved. Pieces so rare, you're more likely to see a unicorn than someone rocking the same piece.
"I have to create. Every day I just have to create. For me life isn't worth living if I can't create. Each day when I wake, I wake with an idea for a new fashion piece or a theme for a new collection, or a story for a new book, or an idea for how we might use technology to improve our lives. This is my reason for waking, my reason for living. To create something. I simply have to create, to design. I'd very much like to welcome you to my exclusive streetwear fashion House. And I would dearly love you to come on this journey with me and let's see together how far we can take A SLEEPING SAMURAI®".
