Spatial Fashionista

Wayne Hemingway will round-off Sanky’s series of President’s Lectures with a bang – a brilliant lecture, followed by the first-ever President’s Lecture after party. Don’t miss it!

After winning the British Fashion Council’s Streetstyle Designer of the Year Award three times and 21 consecutive seasons on the catwalk at London Fashion Week, Wayne sold Red or Dead to turn his attention (and Town Planning degree) to social housing – setting up Hemingway Design with his wife Gerardine.

Since then Hemingway Design have rejuvenated troubled estates and developed award winning new build housing schemes, working on a settlement of 3000 homes in Lothian and apartments in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

Wayne’s passions regularly conjoin. The DJ come Chelsea Flower Show silver medalist has turned the Tate into a silent disco and in 2010 created the glamorous festival ‘Vintage at Goodwood’.

Expect inspiration, humour, a splattering of politics and a dash of controversy as Wayne talks us through his entrepreneurial life and current projects.

Stay on for the first ever President’s Lecture After Party. Wayne and Sanky will be on the decks to share their joint love of Northern Soul with you, at Bloomsbury Bowl (just round the corner from the Lecture). After Party tickets are for lecture-attendees only, but need to be purchased separately. Book your ticket here.
