Hemingway Speaks at SCDF Southampton Branch Opening
Date Posted: 12/06/09
Attended by over 100 guests including students of design in fields as diverse as textiles and architecture, the event was opened by the University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Debra Humphris.
It featured a presentation entitled ‘Seeing beyond Study…’ by Alice Goldie, a textiles graduate currently undertaking her MA in Textiles Design at Winchester School of Art, before Wayne gave the audience a colourful insight into his early design career, how he came from humble beginnings selling old clothes and shoes at Camden Market, to the founding of international fashion label Red or Dead and his latest success designing sheds for B&Q.
Southampton branch chairman and architect Tony Boyle closed proceedings with a lively Q&A session, before an enthused audience adjourned to the bar for further debate.
