Christopher Louis Nemeth (1959-2010)was a fashion designer and artist. He considered making of clothing as one of his artistic practices. Amongst his trademarks are deconstructed tailored suits and artworks depicting clothes making thread, needle and hands which are also used as designs for clothing, accessories, furniture and more.Born in Birmingham, England, he moved to London in 1979 to study painting at Camberwell College of Arts. While he continued painting after university, he taught himself pattern cutting and sewing to make his own clothes using post sacks and canvas from his paintings as the fabric which he started selling them at Kensington Market, London. Later his works were discovered by photographer Mark Lebon and Nemeth’s works began to appear in iD, Face, Tatler and more.
In 1986, Nemeth moved his base to Tokyo, selling his works through a select shop Sector. During 1986 and 1994, Nemeth presented several shows including On Air East. Across the years he continuously developed his aesthetic without losing momentum or needing to compromise, transcending seasons and trends, forming one continuous work in progress. Meanwhile his works were exhibited in ‘Dressed to Kill: 100 Years of Fashion’ at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra in 1993 to 1994, ‘Club to Catwalk: London Fashion in the 1980s’ at The Victoria and Albert Museum, London in 2013.His clothes are also sold at Comme des Garçons’ concept stores and Dover Street Market in London, Tokyo, Paris and New York.
