Record Type: Person
Nemeth, Christopher (English designer, 1959-2010, active in Tokyo)

Note: Fashion designer and artist was born in Birmingham, England and moved to London in 1979 to study painting at Camberwell College of Arts, where he graduated in 1982. While he was active as a painter, he taught himself pattern cutting and sewing to make his own clothes using discarded postal bags and canvas from his paintings as the raw materials. Later his works were discovered by photographer Mark Lebon and Nemeth’s works began to appear in fashion magazines of the 1980s. During this period he collaborated with other artists, particularly the accessory designer and stylist Judy Blame. Nemeth relocated to Tokyo in 1986, and lived there until his death in 2010.
