Richard Penna

Information

I am an art director and graphic designer based in London and rural Sussex. For over a decade as a creative director at Condé Nast, I worked on both editorial and commercial projects across multiple sectors. At Condé Nast International, as Art Director of Editorial Development, my focus was brand DNA while guiding their global launches.

In 2012, I co-founded Archivist Editions, publishing four issues of the fashion journal Archivist. Non-seasonal, it showcased designers’ archives, important personal collections and new emerging talent. Issue 2, Archivist Three Faces was dedicated entirely to the work of Hussein Chalayan and was shortlisted for the Designs of the Year Award 2015, The Design Museum, nominated in the fashion category. 

Some brands I’ve worked with:
Boodles, Condé Nast, Deutsche Bank, K11 Musea, Lombard Odier, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Maybourne, Mercedes-Benz, M&S, Selfridges, Swarovski
