In the multifaceted position, Richardson has been tasked with executing various creative projects, producing live events and acting as an ambassador and conduit to different cultures and areas, with a particular focus on music and art. His appointment builds on the duo’s already established relationship, with Richardson having previously worked with Clarks on a basketball-inspired collaboration in the past – seeing the release of Clarks Originals Wallabee collection for Art Basel Miami. In a release, Richardson said: “It’s not often you get the opportunity to work with a brand that you’re truly a real fan of. “Working with the Clarks team feels like working with family, there’s a mutual trust and belief in my creative vision which I truly appreciate. The partnership so far has been great, and we’re only just getting started.” The brand’s chief marketing and digital officer, Tara McRae added: “Working hand in hand with Free on our now multi award-winning Clarks and New York short film was a triumphant experience, and the start of a working relationship that we felt could only go from strength to strength. “We already have lots lined up with Free for the coming year and I cannot wait to see what we can achieve together.”
