The Richard Quinn Edit: SS26 Gowns and Occasion Dresses at Coveti

Richard Quinn’s current edit at Coveti reads like a night out planned in advance: printed chiffon for the garden reception, tulle for the ball, sequins for the gala, and one very good black dress for when the invitation says make an entrance. Here are the pieces we would reach for, grouped by mood.

The florals

His prints are the reason to buy Quinn, and this season the rose motif runs across fluid chiffon. The Midnight Violet Rose Midi Dress scatters violet blooms over a black ground, while its lighter twin, the Sky Blue Rose Midi Dress, does the same in powder blue on white. Both sit at 6,510 US dollars. For long-sleeved coverage, the Pink Floral Chiffon Gown and the Lilac Rose Floral Chiffon Gown bring the print to the floor at 4,350 US dollars.

The tulle ball gowns

This is Quinn at his most theatrical. The Pleated Tulle Ball Gown in Caramel (9,710 US dollars) trails three ivory satin bows down a fairytale skirt, and the strapless Tulle Three-Bow Navy Ball Gown (10,270 US dollars) sets blush bows against inky navy. For a shorter take on the volume, the Mint Tulle Midi Gown pairs a mint skirt with a black off-shoulder bow.

The silk and satin gowns

For the guest who prefers a clean line, the draped Elsa Navy Silk Chiffon Gown and the champagne Camellia Bow Column Gown trade volume for fluid drape and a long, architectural silhouette. The Two-Tone Gown with Floral Waist Detail splits the difference, an ivory bodice over a fluid black satin skirt.

The sequins and the showstopper

When the night calls for shine, the blush Sequin High-Neck Evening Gown is the easiest entry to the label at 3,750 US dollars, body-skimming with a graceful train. And the piece that earns the room: the Runway Embellished Black Cocktail Dress with Draped Taffeta Cape, an embellished bodice under a dramatic taffeta cape.
