A FAMOUS fashion guru is to give his life story at The Subscription Rooms in Stroud.

Wayne Hemmingway has a career spanning four decades and is the co-founder of Red or Dead, giving him a few stories to tell.

A spokesperson from the Subroom's said: "If you get the chance get in a room with the guy and listen, you will without a doubt learn something or at least be energised to go off and think harder."

Being described as insightful, thought-provoking, often hilarious and always truthful, Wayne's rise to success was a rather unusual one, with his big break on a Camden market stall.

Audiences are riveted by his rags to Red or Dead tale and how Wayne continues to push himself creatively, wherever his career takes him.

He will give his talk on Thursday, May 3 starting at 8pm, tickets cost £17.50 for adults or £15.50 concessions.
