John Richmond, always a spokesperson for the fashion system, broadens his creative streak and debuts in the aeronautics sector by creating 7 patterns for 7 glider models handcrafted as unique pieces.
INSPO & COLLECTION
The John Richmond glider collection is made up of unique and numbered creations: models of style and design developed through a sartorial customization of historic "old timers" aircraft, built entirely of wood and dating back to reproductions dating back to the 1930s.
The model chosen for John Richmond customizations is the FAI Open class Schempp Hirth Nimbus-4D, designed by Klaus Holighaus and produced by Schempp-Hirt, whose first flight took place in 1990.
This model, with a fascinating styling, features elements in fiberglass and carbon, as well as an electric motor to respond to sustainability considerations.
WRAPPING
The desire to translate the energetic spirit of the John Richmond brand was consolidated by the idea of incorporating 7 of the brand's iconic patterns, from the classic Tattoo, originally created in 1987, to tribal motifs, up to the customization of the logo.
The customization of the graphics is done by the Evosound group, the Italian leader in the wrapping of unique vehicles. The result is models that are not only aesthetically exclusive, but pieces with a bold, impactful and contemporary design.
DESIGN
All customized John Richmond models were created with the support of the Marche-based company Massimo Rigucci 1959, a small Italian company specialized in the design, planning and production of large model aircraft, as well as reproductions of gliders complete with every detail and ready to fly.
