Dean Quinn- Amplified

Dean Quinn’s Spring 2013 collection was a crystal clear expression of what matters to him as a designer. The clothes were clean and fresh, with the right amount of clever construction to make them distinctive. They did not overpower the women wearing them, but complimented and accented their beauty. The design touches echoed an intriguing mix of formality and allure creating clothing that was very attractive. After a bit of a drift the last two seasons, Dean Quinn is beginning to find his voice again, and use it rather loudly.

Dean Quinn – Spring 2012 Review – Out of The Pool, Into The Limo

Fascinated by the novel The Beautiful and Damned, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dean Quinn sees his woman plainly strutting out of a swimming pool and putting on her evening wear.This take on nautical meets old Hollywood called for wet, slicked back hair, and earth-toned makeup accents (if only we could all look as good as Quinn’s girls when we came out of the pool, drenched and scrambling for the nearest towel).
