David Quinn is a fashion and costume designer working across a variety of mediums, from theatre, dance, and film to burlesque and red carpet. Quinn’s theatre work has appeared in numerous traditional and non-traditional venues across the United States and internationally. In 2017, his work on Jack was described as “jaw-dropping” (Travelance) and “glorious” (Time Out NY). In 2022, his costumes for Dick Rivington were hailed as “brilliantly inventive” by The New York Times. Quinn has designed dance costumes for the Martha Graham Dance Company, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and Stanley Love Performance Group. Dance View Times wrote, “Quinn is cutting and draping and colouring the most beautiful dance costumes to be found in New York.”

Quinn’s wide-ranging group of collaborators has recently included music legend Debbie Harry, for whom he created a mirrored shroud for Coachella, as well as red carpet and press event gowns for actress and singer Bridget Everett. Iconic collaborations with performance artist Darrel Thorne include the cover look for the July 2025 issue of Wallpaper Magazine. Quinn continues to create costumes for burlesque superstar Miss Dirty Martini, most recently for her performances in Las Vegas and her European tours with Dita Von Teese.
