Three fat decades ago, the cult label Red or Dead was born when designer Wayne Hemingway and his wife Gerardine started selling their clobber in Camden market to make a buck. Before they knew it, they had sixteen stalls which soon turned into shops, in Camden and Manchester.
When the Hemingways tried their hand at being shoes, a British fashion institution was born – think watch shoes worn by Bros in the late 80s through to epic platforms in the 90s.
This free but fleeting exhibition is a must for anyone born in the 80s *puts up hand*
