From High Fashion to Fine Quilts

Join us for a fascinating presentation by Richard Dupuis, a self-taught designer whose lifelong passion for fashion began in childhood. From hand-stitching clothes for his sisters to working in high fashion in Los Angeles, Richard’s creative journey is as unique as his designs. He served as chief designer for several clothing lines before launching his own business, specializing in wedding gowns and haute couture. Today, his vintage dresses are listed on resale sites for hundreds of dollars.

Now retired, Richard channels his creativity into award-winning quilts that showcase his expertise in sewing, appliqué, and embroidery. He will share stories from his fashion career and display a selection of his stunning quilt work.
