Sharing the love Parkinson’s UK and NEXT launch exclusive range designed by Alex Echo In September 2021, The British retailer NEXT, in partnership with Parkinson’s UK, launched an exclusive range of home accessories and kids’ t-shirts featuring designs by Castle Fine Art favourite, Alex Echo, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s two years ago. 100 per cent of the profits from the range will go to the charity to fund vital Parkinson’s services. The 63-year-old internationally-renowned and self-taught artist has been creating art for four decades and has seen his work exhibited in some of the world’s most prestigious art galleries. Alex had been experiencing Parkinson’s symptoms for around 7 years before being diagnosed, and the inspiration behind the collection comes from his experience of receiving love, kindness and compassion ever since. His bold and uplifting designs feature on a cushion and unisex kids’ t-shirts based on the concept of ‘share the love.’
