Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway
share secrets of their business success
Christian Koch
The husband-and-wife team behind design agency House of Hemingway discuss their ventures – from
launching fashion label Red or Dead, to tackling housing issues, to boosting independent traders with
their upcoming Classic Car Boot Sale
Wayne Hemingway We first met as teenagers at a northern soul night at Angels nightclub, Burnley, in
1980. Me and two mates put a fiver each into a kitty with the winner being whoever got a girl’s telephone
number first. Gerardine was on the dancefloor wearing a self-made Andy Pandy suit. I handed her a piece of
paper with the line, ‘Will you be my angel?’ Luckily, it paid off.
Gerardine Hemingway He got paid for finding a wife! Within a year, we were engaged [they married in
1982]. Wayne went to university in London, and I visited every weekend.
Wayne Hemingway We never had any money, forcing me to empty my cupboard and sell my old clothes.
Gerardine Hemingway Our stall was in Camden Market and we also sold jumble sale items. By 1983, we
had 16 stalls and a Kensington shop.
PRESS CUTTING
Wayne Hemingway We were buying things for 10p then selling them for £100. Cool young Londoners
would buy our clothes, then the Japanese and French started visiting with big black sacks. We had no
borrowings, no mum and dad helping out.
Gerardine Hemingway During one London Fashion Week, Macy’s placed an order. I remember writing it
down, thinking, ‘How am I going to make all this?’
Wayne Hemingway The next thing we knew we’d set up a factory in Blackburn. All these textile mills
were empty and we got a council grant. We bought the machines from an old nurse’s uniform factory
throughExchange and Mart, my mum helped out, Gerardine’s sister packed in her job…
Gerardine Hemingway During the 1980s, Bros fans sported our ‘watch shoes’, and Demi Moore was
on Timemagazine’s cover wearing our stuff. People think fashion is just parties. It’s not. It’s hard work.
Wayne Hemingway We’ve never been fearful of anything… Red or Dead wouldn’t have worked without
us. Because fashion takes the dressmaking nous that Gerardine has, it started off as womenswear. But
fashion also takes a mouth, which is what I’ve got, as well as the ability to come up with marketing ideas
that resonate with the media. All Red or Dead collections had a story or theme, which came from me. But
Gerardine did the detail, turning it into clothing people could wear.
Gerardine Hemingway Wayne was working from early morning until teatime, with me working later. By
the mid-1990s Red or Dead started franchising and opening international stores. We were getting too big.
Wayne Hemingway In 1995 we sold Red or Dead to Facia group. By that stage, we were a large-scale
company but still hands-on running the business, writing cheques and unpacking boxes coming in. I was
starting to dislike the fashion industry – it was too up its backside. Having kids early, in our twenties, kept
us grounded.
Gerardine Hemingway We were aliens, proper aliens. We had to work really hard to get onto catwalk
schedules because they didn’t think we were good enough to be there, because we hadn’t trained.
Wayne Hemingway A year later, Facia collapsed, enabling us to buy back Red or Dead at a cheap price
before selling it to Pentland Group.
Gerardine Hemingway Then, housing… Fifteen years ago, you could drive from Land’s End to John
O’Groats and see yellow signs for housing developments. Each one was the same. You just thought, ‘The
[building] industry must have more style than this’.
Wayne Hemingway I debated with housebuilders on Newsnight, which led to the Wimpey chairman asking
us to work with them. We started on 700-odd homes in Gateshead that had been empty for 12 years. The
Staiths project had a massive impact, shaking up housing. Gerardine designed around the clock while I was
political, cracking heads with planners.
PRESS CUTTING
Gerardine Hemingway We got approached to do chi-chi London apartments, but said, ‘No, we want to do
some proper housing. We want to show that outside of London, design can be for anybody – it doesn’t have
to be expensive.’
Wayne Hemingway Today, we’re a multidisciplinary design agency. We’ve designed uniforms for
Transport for London and McDonald’s and worked on the £30m regeneration of Margate’s Dreamland
amusement park. We’ve also branched into festivals – our Vintage Festival [celebrating five decades of
British cool] has been held since 2007. House of Hemingway’s a family firm too – our two eldest kids, Jack
and Tilly, are partners. We’ve got our ‘festival-for-a-fiver’ Classic Car Boot Sale happening this month…
And to this day, Gerardine still hasn’t got jealous of me doing all the telly.
The Classic Car Boot Sale is on 16-17 April. To find out more visit classiccarbootsale.co.uk

The Classic Car Boot Sale Returns to London this Weekend
14
APR
One of my favourite vintage events in London would definitely have to be The Classic Car Boot Sale. What could
be better than tonnes of beautiful vintage things to buy, a fantastic selection of classic cars, plenty of street food
served out of classic vehicles and a bar in an old route master bus. I’ve only missed one event since they launched
a few years ago and some of my favourite vintage dresses have come from sellers at the event.
The Classic Car Boot Sale is returning to London for two days this weekend. The event takes place a stones throw
from Kings Cross Station and will pay host to over 100 classic vehicles and bikes as well as over 65 vintage
traders. The quality of the stock on offer is really good.
To give you a taste of what to expect here are a few photos that I’ve taken at past events…
PRESS CUTTING
The stalls are packed with lovely vintage clothing, including plenty of mid century pieces.
The cars are one of the main highlights for me, I’m always excited to see who will turn up on the day.
PRESS CUTTING
I love looking through absolutely everything, there are lots of great finds hidden amongst the stalls.
The food and drink is all served from adapted vintage vehicles and there is a huge variety to choose from.
PRESS CUTTING
As well as clothing there are plenty of lovely home bits up for grabs.
I have a massive weakness for vintage aprons, this was one of my favourite stalls from last year.
PRESS CUTTING
Lots of wonderful mid-century kitchenalia.
The event has plenty of stalls to cater for the discerning gentlemen as well as for the ladies.
PRESS CUTTING
All the vehicle owners are really friendly and it’s great fun to have a peek inside their fabulous motors.
Time for tea? One of my favourite things to spot at vintage fairs is the fantastic mid century crockery.
PRESS CUTTING
A fantastic selection of vintage accessories. Even if you don’t wear vintage clothing all the time, a handbag
makes a great vintage purchase.
I think this might be my dream vehicle! I just love the colour, I wouldn’t mind the cowboy boots too!
PRESS CUTTING
I really enjoy leafing through rails and rails of lovely clothes, looking for that perfect dress to re-home.
The event takes place on the 16th and 17th April

Booty call: the Classic Car Boot Sale returns to King's
Cross this weekend
By Isabelle Aron
Elbows out and get ready to rummage, because a fleet of vintage cars will be cruising into King’s Cross this
weekend for the annual Classic Car Boot Sale. Now in its fourth year, it sees 65 traders rolling up to flog
vintage clothing, accessories and homeware from the trunks of some seriously swanky classic motors. If you
get tired of bargain-hunting, there’s also live brass music, impromptu theatre performances and a DJ
spinning vinyl on an open-top Routemaster bus. When you need to refuel, chow down on street-food treats
from Anna Mae’s, Pulled Food and Jiggery Pokery Parlour. If you’ve spent all your money (or you just
fancy keeping it old-school), they’ll be handing out free samples of everyone’s favourite meaty wartime
snack, Spam. Form an orderly queue, folks.

No plans yet? Here are some more cool things to do this week-end in London. If you have tips we haven’t covered, don’t hesitate
to leave us a comment below…
♥ That’s London, baby ♥
1. Spring is back. Join the Night Skate event in Hyde Park this Friday to make the most of it. Free.
2. Did you know Brixton has its own currency? And now even its first cash machine. Where you can get a David Bowie note, just
saying.
3. The Classic Car Boot Sale is back this week-end, in King’s Cross this time. Lots of vintage finds presented not on stalls but in
the boots of beautiful classic cars…
4. Explore some of London’s secret gardens.
5. Celebrate Record Store Day this Saturday – many stores (such as Brill Cafe in Clerkenwell,Container Records in Brixton)
will have entertainment and live music.
♥ Art and culture ♥
PRESS CUTTING
1. We’re celebrating 400 years of Shakespeare in 2016. Annie Jenkins wrote 1000 mini-plays inspired by his work, to be played
by The Rude Mechanicals as they travel across Hackney in their custom made pageant wagon.
2. Street Artist Ben Eine’s new exhibition in Soho is around neons – brilliant!
3. The V&A presents Undressed, the story of underwear design from the 18th century to the present day, from corsets to Agent
Provocateur.
4. Another World, the National Theatre’s new play explores why some young Muslim men and women from across Western
Europe leaving their homes to join IS. Very well researched, truly interesting.
5. The Halcyon Gallery presents Warhol Icons – more than a hundred masterpieces by the pop art genius.
♥ Yum ♥
1. Rose Latte or mushroom coffee?
2. We tried a rather magical dessert at the Corinthia this week: chestnut ice-cream topped with Italian meringue, enclosed in a
delicate sugar sphere…
3. Cheer up – The Real Wine Fair, at Tobacco Dock, is a two day event celebrating artisan winegrowers who work with
minimal intervention in the vineyard and the winery. There are more than 150 producers to meet.
4. Will you be brave enough to try the pulled pork sundae?
5. Weird Beard Brew Co. welcomes the public this Sunday. Time for a pint or 2.
♥ 5 ideas to make your little ones smile ♥
1. If your children play a musical instrument, they can join a concert at the Southbank Centre this Saturday. They will learn
some simple arrangements on the day. Free.
2. Join Disney Junior’s latest Heroes of The Lion Guard and treat your little ones to a (free) interactive experience at
Westfield.
3. Dream of polar bears at the Unicorn Theatre. This adorable show is for 2-5 years.
4. On Saturday, kids can join a special workshop at the V&A, get inspiration from the West End Musicals and design their
own make-up.
5. Let your little ones marvel at soap bubbles at the Southbank Centre – giant ones, squares ones, others filled with smoke…

Bustling: 2015’s Classic Car Boot event in Cubitt Square
T
he point about this two-day vintage festie from designer Wayne Hemingway is that it doesn’t
really matter if you’re not a massive fan of the automobile. Sure, it helps to dig all things four (or
even two) wheeled, with more than a hundred rare cars, buses and historic bike displays.

But there are also cultural attractions aplenty: oodles of street theatre, some TFL buskers and a
whole load of impromptu musical performances, complete with DJs spinning a vinyl-only selection
of tunes from the 1940s-80s atop an open-air Routemaster bus.
For orally-fixated souls, there’s the opportunity to scoff and booze at some of the best stalls in the
capital too – well, this is King’s Cross, home of KERB after all.
After stuffing yourself silly – washed down, of course, with a cocktail or craft beer – why not hit the
Best of Britannia’s pop-up marketplace? There’ll be a carefully curated selection of the best British
manufactured goods and products.
The festival is very easy to find too: it flows up from Pancras Square, along King’s Boulevard,
through Granary Square and onto the recently opened Lewis Cubitt Square. There’s even a leafy
park behind to catch some rays – if the pesky sun obliges.
Classic Car Boot Sale takes place on the 16th & 17th April, Lewis Cubitt Square N1C, 10am – 6pm.

5 Cool London Date Ideas This Week 11/4 – 17/4
This week’s London date ideas are cooler than Marvin Gaye locked in a fridge.
The “HANDS On” Date
Nothing’s better than a “hands on” date (use your imagination). Well, this week you can get as hands on as you’d like at the
UK Rock, Paper, Scissors Championships! Seriously. It’ll definitely be a memorable one – especially if one of you takes
home the £100 prize!
The “On the MARKET” Date
Walking around a market whilst on a date is always a good idea. Apart from being very relaxed, being able to stroll from
stall to stall gives you constant conversation starters. This weekend the Classic Car Boot Sale is happening in Kings Cross.
Expect classic cars, vintage clothes, live music and even street theatre – so, if you balls up this date….. It’s all you.
The “DEAD Awesome” Date
We live in a world of expensive immersive movie experiences. Sure, you could watch “28 Days Later” for free online… Or
you can forfeit your weekly food budget and see it as part of this year’s (not so) Secret Cinema. Look, you’re definitely
going to have a good time – going all out and dressing up as zombies will definitely be memorable no matter whether it’s a
first or 400th date.
PRESS CUTTING
The “BACKSEAT” Date
Drive-in movies are great! My mum used to take me when I was a kid and if I ever have kids (I really better get my skates
on) I’ll probably take them too. In the meantime, the Drive-In Film Club at Ally Pally is happening with tickets still
available for Mad Max: Fury Road and Blade Runner. You’ll obviously need a car…. So, you might want to get onto that
part first.
The “On Your Toes” Date
The ballet is always a really good date. I’m serious – hear me out on this one. You might feel as though you’re doing your
female friend a favour by getting tickets, but it really is worth going. The Sadler’s Wells in North London is premiering the
“She Said” from the 13th – 16th. It looks incredible, so you better get in quick to get tickets.

Spam hits the road for 75th anniversary
By Grace Caffyn,
Spam is taking its branded Airstream trailer - aka the Spam Can - on tour this summer
to celebrate 75 years in the UK market.
Passers-by can try a free portion of the brand’s hot Spam fries
The campaign, which features the tagline 'see what Spam can do', aims to show Brits how
versatile the canned meat can be.
Those who stop by the vehicle will receive a free portion of the US brand’s hot Spam fries and
learn about other recipes, such as Spam hash, to try at home.
The trailer itself is decked out in yellow signage, with a giant inflatable rocket on its roof.
Spam merchandise, including lanyards and trolley tokens, are be up for grabs for those who take
part in the brand's alley game. Visitors can also have their photo taken inside a giant branded
can.

The tour started in Liverpool last month, to coincide with Spam Appreciation Week.
Next, the van will hit the Classic Car Boot Sale in King’s Cross on 16-17 April, before visiting other
family-friendly events in Shropshire, Birmingham, Sunderland, Cheshire and Blackpool. It will
finish at CarFest South in Hampshire from 26-28 August.
The campaign is being promoted across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag
#SPAMCanTour. It follows the brand’s Spamerican tour in the US.
A Spam spokesperson told Event: "With more than 12,000 Spam fries served over the weekend,
the first event was a huge success ... The main objective is to show the British people what
Spam can really do! It can be fried, sliced, grilled or eaten cold and we’ll be demonstrating just
how versatile this iconic meat really is."
In other meat-related news, Burger & Lobster hosted a one-off immersive food experience, The Art
of Dining, earlier this year.

SPAM Can Tour Arrives In London In Huge Can
On Wheels
SPAM in a vintage tin van.
SPAM chopped pork and ham — that delicious meat product you know you love really — is coming to
London. And it's arriving in a massive can on wheels.
On 16 and 17 April the Giant SPAM Can will be parked up at the Classic Car Boot Sale in King's Cross. OK
it's not really a giant can of SPAM Products — but a customised Airstream van, which will fit right in with
the car boot's vintage vibe.
Say hello to the people inside the van, and they'll reward you with a free portion of SPAM Fries. "SPAM
Fries?!" we hear you exclaim. Don't knock them till you've tried them. Made from more than 90% shoulder
pork and leg ham, is fun, unique and truly versatile. (So versatile you can turn it into fries.)
Celebrating 75 years in the UK, the SPAM Brand has become the most iconic meat brand on the planet —
referenced by Monty Python in THAT sketch and recently enjoying a renaissance in hip areas of London
like Dalston and Shoreditch.
While getting your SPAM fries on the #SPAMCanTour, you can also pick up a free commemorative tour
booklet that shows the various ways SPAM products can be enjoyed. Believe us, there are lots.
Catch the SPAM Can at the Classic Car Boot Sale, King's Cross on 16 and 17 April, from 10am - 6pm.

retro treasure: gully garms, rare records, hip homewares and more.
Classic Car Boot Sale is one of designer Wayne Hemingway’s stylish babies, so it comes as no surprise that

doughnuts and craft brews? You’ll find all that and then some, plus music, dance and entertainment. Tickets

Mr Hemingway knows a lot about budget brilliance: he’s helped judge the Best Budget Boutique Hotel at our

CLASSIC CAR BOOT SALE
Get that booty to the car booty. With over 100 classic cars cruising in to Kings Cross to celebrate all things
vintage, whether you fancy digging for vinyl gold or grabbing a new wardrobe, this is a weekend not to miss.
But if rummaging for those hidden gems is not your thing, how about catching an impromptu show from the
National Youth Theatre? Or a spot of music magic from Dat Brass? Yes they’ve got it all covered and with
enough food and boozy vans to keep you fuelled for the whole day, we’re talking Pulled Food, Anna Mae’s,
Jiggery Pokery Parlour and more. And if this wasn’t already a world class car boot, you can even pick up your
very own classic motor in a new-for-2016 expanded area of the event!
So put on those boots and cruise on down to King’s Cross for a weekend full of vintage dreams.
