History
Richmond-Cornejo was formed by John Richmond and Maria Cornejo in 1984 after they had completed their fashion studies. Both were originally from Manchester and moved to London to study fashion design - Richmond at Kingston and Cornejo at Ravensbourne. They initially designed a collection for Joseph and were backed by an Italian company. The label was successful, especially in Japan, and regularly featured in style magazines such as The Face and i-D. They also opened a shop at 2 Newburgh Street in London's Soho. They ended their personal and business relationship in 1987 both going on to design individually.
