« Back : Wayne Hemingway Masterclass

Wayne Hemingway was born in 1961 in the typical seaside town, Morecambe.  Maybe not the most appropriate surroundings for one of Britain’s most acclaimed designers, but then Wayne never has been very appropriate anyway.

Wayne, and wife Gerardine, built Red or Dead into a label that received global acclaim resulting in winning the prestigious British Fashion Council’s Streetstyle Designer of the Year Award for an unprecedented 3 consecutive years in 1996, 1997 and 1998.

After 21 consecutive seasons on the catwalk at London Fashion Week, Wayne and Gerardine sold Red or Dead in a multi million cash sale.

In 1999, having sold Red or Dead they set up HemingwayDesign, which specializes in affordable and social design and has won numerous awards. The highest profile project is, The Staiths South Bank, a 800 property mass market housing project on Tyneside for  Taylor Wimpey Homes where HemingwayDesign are involved from the master planning, the architecture through to the landscaping and marketing of this groundbreaking project.

Wayne received an MBE in June 06, is a Professor at Northumbria University, a Doctor at Lancaster, Wolverhampton and Stafford and a Fellow of Blackburn College.
