He was born in [[Keighley]], [[Yorkshire]] in 1945. |
|||
==Early life and education== |
|||
Price was born in [[Keighley]], [[Yorkshire]], [[England]] in 1945, and grew up [[Selside]] in the [[Yorkshire Dales National Park]]. He was educated at Eshton Hall School for Boys in [[Gargrave]], Yorkshire. In 1961, At the age of 16, he gained entrance to the [[Bradford School of Arts and Media Studies|Bradford School of Art]] – now the Bradford School of Arts and Media Studies – completing a one year General Art and Design course, followed by specialising for three years in Womenswear Fashion. In 1965 he entered the [[Royal College of Art]]'s Fashion School in London where he completed a three year course – two years in Womenswear Fashion, and the final year and degree show in Menswear Fashion. Price credits his time at the Bradford School as invaluable in preparing him for the Royal College, saying: "I arrived at the Royal College of Art with a total headstart and was able to whip my own show together."<ref>[http://www.175heroes.org.uk/antony_price.html "Antony Price"] on 175 Heroes at Bradford College</ref> |
|||
Antony Price is famous for his intrinsic connections to the [[music]] world. |
|||
==Career== |
|||
While Price was working for the Stirling Cooper label in 1967, he designed the clothes for [[The Rolling Stones]]' [[The Rolling Stones American Tour 1969|1969 American Tour]]. He was the stylist for Roxy Music's first eight albums, as well as the back cover for [[Lou Reed]]'s ''[[Transformer (album)|Transformer]]'' album. His self-declared trademark design is a spiral-zipped dress in [[satin|ciré satin]], created for the label Plaza in the late seventies. This was worn in a ''[[Harpers and Queen]]'' feature in 1979 by [[Amanda Lear]], who was also the Price-dressed covergirl for Roxy Music's 1973 album ''[[For Your Pleasure]]''. |
|||
He has collaborated with a number of performers, including [[David Bowie]], [[Steve Strange]] and [[Duran Duran]], but is best known for his close working relationship with [[Bryan Ferry]] and [[Roxy Music]], whose respective 'looks' were defined by Price's designs.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/apr/17/fashion.popandrock | title=Return of the dandy | date=17 April 2008 | agency=Guardian | accessdate=May 27, 2012 | author=Iley, Chrissy}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/tag/antony-price/ | title=Jerry Hall talks to Anthony Price | accessdate=May 27, 2012}}</ref> |
|||
Price worked for the Stirling Cooper, Che Guevara and Plaza labels in London before launching his own label in 1979. Stirling Cooper was situated in London's [[Wigmore Street]], and had a noted oriental interior designed by Price and [[Jane Whiteside]]. Price's own shops were located in [[South Molton Street]] and on the [[King's Road]]. He also operated a shop called 'Ebony' in the 1980s. |
|||
He has been credited as the chief illusionist of what he dubbed "the Roxy Machine" and contributed to all eight album covers – something which can be boasted by no-one besides [[Bryan Ferry]] himself. The manner in which Price dressed – or in many cases, undressed – the "Roxy girls" on the covers of their albums helped to define the band’s pop [[retro-futurism]]. More recently, Price has been noted for dressing celebrities such as [[Tara Palmer-Tomkinson]], [[Patsy Kensit]], [[Anjelica Huston]],<ref name=hype>Blanchard, Tamsin.

In 1982 Price collabrated with the British band '''Duran Duran''', designing pastel silk tonic suits for the "[[Rio (song)|Rio]]" video.<ref>Nika, Coleen.

Two years later, Price staged a 'Fashion Spectacular' at [[Hippodrome, London|London's Hippodrome]], combining fashion and [[rock music]]. "I'm partly responsible for the marriage of rock and fashion," Price said in 1998, "When I started out, rock people thought fashion people were snobby and fashion people though the music industry grubby and dirty."<ref name=versace>Blanchard, Tamsin.

[[Antony Price]] grew up in the [[Hamlet]] of [[Selside]] in the [[Yorkshire Dales National Park]]. He was educated at [[Eshton]] Hall School for Boys in [[Gargrave]], [[Yorkshire]]. At the age of 16, he gained entrance to the [[Bradford]] College of Art (following fellow student [[David Hockney]]'s painterly footsteps but instead into the world of [[Fashion]]) in September 1961, completing a one year General Art and Design course, followed by specialising for three years in [[Womenswear]] [[Fashion]], where he developed his trademark skill in [[pattern]] [[cutting]]'' and architectual [[garment]] construction in the vein of his idols, [[Givenchy]] and [[Balenciaga]], under the stewardship of his tutor, Mrs Betts. |
|||
Two years later, Price staged a 'Fashion Spectacular' at [[Hippodrome, London|London's Hippodrome]], combining fashion and [[rock music]]. "I'm partly responsible for the marriage of rock and fashion," Price said in 1998, "When I started out, rock people thought fashion people were snobby and fashion people though the music industry grubby and dirty."<ref name=versace>Blanchard, Tamsin. [http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion-price-is-right-for-the-house-that-gianni-built-1144132.html "Fashion: Price is right for the house that Gianni built"] ''[[The Independent]]'' (11 February 1998)</ref> |
|||
In 1965 at the age of 20, he gained entrance to the [[Royal College of Art]]'s [[Fashion]] [[School]] in [[London]] under the guidance of Janie Ironside where he completed a 3 year course - 2 years in [[Womenswear]] [[Fashion]],the final year and degree show in [[Menswear]] Fashion, DES R.C.A. Price credits his time at the Bradford School as invaluable in preparing him for the Royal College, saying: "I arrived at the Royal College of Art with a total headstart and was able to whip my own show together."<ref>[http://www.175heroes.org.uk/antony_price.html "Antony Price"] on 175 Heroes at Bradford College</ref> |
|||
Price has declared that 'I'm not a fashion designer ... I'm in the theatrical business,' and for Fashion Aid in 1985 he conceived of a presentation of model, client and long-standing friend [[Jerry Hall]] emerging from a black velvet box. The outfit consisted of a [[bolero jacket|bolero]] and dress with lampshade [[overshirt|peplum]] in metallic and red French [[silk]] [[lace]] over [[lamé (fabric)|lamé]]. Price has said of this outfit 'It wasn't the chicest or most subtle garment, but when Jerry moved under the lights she looked like a [[Siamese fighting fish]] in a vast blue tank.' |
|||
In 1968 he won the Three M's [[Bursary]] [[Award]] with a [[Menswear]] [[Fashion]] [[outfit]] and subsequently joined the fledgling Sterling Cooper [[fashion]] [[company]] alongside the [[Womenswear]] [[designer]], Jane Whiteside. Together they opened the famous Sterling Cooper shop ([[designed]] by Price and Whiteside) in [[London]]'s [[Wigmore Street]] which was frequented by the [[Rock and Roll]] faternity of the day i.e. [[Rolling Stones]], [[Traffic]], [[Cream]] and [[Pink Floyd]] etc - who were particular amoured with Price's Bridge Crutch Trousers that became a [[Rock music|Rock]] business [[fashion]] necessity - setting Price on his journey in [[Glamour]] and [[Rock and Roll]]. (The [[Rolling Stones]] were his earliest customers, with [[Jagger]] wearing the Side Button Trousers on the infamous [[Gimme Shelter]] [[tour]]). After Whiteside's departure, Price [[designed]] [[iconic]] [[Womenswear]] pieces, including the much copied Spiral Skirts and Block Sleeve Head. |
|||
Price received the 'Evening Glamour Award' from the [[British Fashion Council]] in 1989,<ref>Hochswender, Woody. [http://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/19/garden/in-london-subway-style-above-ground.html "In London, Subway Style Above Ground"] ''[[New York Times]]'' (October 19, 1989)</ref> and was profiled in British [[Vogue (magazine)|''Vogue'']] the same year. In 1998, he collaborated with milliner [[Philip Treacy]] for his show at [[London Fashion Week]], and continued to collaborate on subsequent Treacy shows in London and Paris. He was also widely considered to be a frontrunner in the search to replace [[Gianni Versace]] after that designer's untimely death.<ref name=hype /><ref name=versace>Blanchard, Tamsin. [http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion-price-is-right-for-the-house-that-gianni-built-1144132.html "Fashion: Price is right for the house that Gianni built"] ''[[The Independent]]'' (11 February 1998)</ref> |
|||
In 1971, Price moved from Sterling Cooper to Che Guevara for two years (owned by Dave Shimeld) as the lead [[designer]] to launch it's own range of [[Womenswear]]. Price and Whiteside also [[designed]] Che Guevara's large and exciting flag ship store in [[High Street Kensington]] following the success of the initial store. This created a lot of interest because of the store's fashionable 1930s [[art deco]] appeal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smilesalon.co.uk/media/kw_excerpts_rmrm_16pgs.pdf |title=Re-make / Re-model - Art, Pop, Fashion and the Making of Roxy Music, 1953–1972 by Michael Bracewell |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |
|||
In 2000, Price opened his own shop again in [[Chelsea, London|Chelsea]] and created [[evening gown]]s constructed of [[carpet]] to feature in the advertising campaigns of British carpet manufacturer [[Brintons]], a commission previously undertaken by Vivienne Westwood. In 2000 he also created clothing for Glenalmond Tweed, along with 25 other British designers including Westwood, [[Alexander McQueen]] and [[Margaret Howell]], and in 2003 he was among a number of British designers who created gowns for [[Pamela Anderson]] when she hosted the [[British Fashion Awards]] that year.<ref name=anderson /> |
|||
At this time Price started his collaboration with the American fashion photographer Karl Stoecker and created photographs for Vogue.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moredarkthanshark.org/eno_int_mojouce-mar07b.html |title=Brian Eno Is More Dark Than Shark |publisher=Moredarkthanshark.org |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.karlstoeckerphotography.com/ |title=Home |publisher=Karlstoeckerphotography.com |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |
|||
Price was nominated for the British Fashion Council's 'Red Carpet Designer Award' at the 2006 British Fashion Awards, and a small range of his clothes sell in London boutique 'A La Mode'. He was featured in the fashion magazines [[Pop (fashion magazine)|Pop]] and [[Butt (magazine)|Butt]] in spring 2005. In December 2006, Price was photographed by [[David Bailey]] for British ''Vogue'' alongside [[Christopher Kane]]. Price has worked with [[Daphne Guinness]] in developing a range of key shirt and tailoring designs for her eponymous clothing line, which is currently sold in London's [[Dover Street Market]]. |
|||
In 1972, Price joined the Plaza Clothing Company which specialised in the mass production of garments in Portugal. He spent 5 years working in Portuguese factories concentrating on developing ranges of stretch garments that sold in extremely large quantities to all major fashion outlets and retailers in the United Kingdom and abroad.<ref name="showstudio1">{{cite web|url=http://showstudio.com/contributor/antony_price |title=Antony Price - SHOWstudio - The Home of Fashion Film |publisher=SHOWstudio |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |
|||
From this point Price's artistic relationship with the singer [[Bryan Ferry]] and [[Roxy Music]] was on-going through out the [[Seventies]] producing some of the periods most classic and iconic visual images in both [[video]] and [[album]] cover form to promote the band and [[Bryan Ferry]]'s solo projects along with the photographer Karl Stoecker and models [[Amanda Lear]], Kari-Ann Muller ([[Jagger]]), [[Marilyn Cole]] and [[Jerry Hall]]. At the same time, Stoeker, Price and Gala Mitchell collaborated with [[Lou Reed]] for the [[Transformer]] back cover album artwork.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thecreativecauldron.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/antony-price-man-out-of-time.html |title=Creative Cauldron: Antony Price- a man out of time |publisher=Thecreativecauldron.blogspot.co.uk |date=2009-11-22 |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/217670-lets-do-launch |title=Let's Do Launch |publisher=Metro.co.uk |date=2008-07-14 |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |
|||
In 1978, the success of the Plaza Clothing Company enabled Price to open a third shop on the [[King's Road]] in [[Chelsea]], [[London]], which became the centre for [[Rock and Roll]] [[Glamour]] for the stars and also involved major interest from various magazines; [[Vogue]], [[Tatler]] and [[Harpers and Queen]]. The blue glass exterior of the shop was hailed in high esteem by retail architects and the media as it had a revolutionary method of visual merchandising, i.e. the clothes were displayed as art within the store. The window was a huge television/cinema screen displaying controversial fashion images of the clothes sold within.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG3365628/Antony-Price-the-man-who-redesigned-the-Duchess-of-Cornwall.html |title=Antony Price, the man who redesigned the Duchess of Cornwall - Telegraph |publisher=Fashion.telegraph.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2008/02/jerry-hall-talks-to-anthony-price/ |title=Jerry Hall talks to Anthony Price |publisher=Wonderland Magazine |date=2008-02-10 |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |

This was filmed by [[John Maybury]] and featured the models [[Jerry Hall]] and [[Marie Helvin]] (as vampish icons of sexual [[glamour]] - he had honed this look whilst working with Kari-Anne Muller ([[Jagger]]), [[Amanda Lear]] and Gala Mitchell in the early 1970s). The [[Menswear]] section of the show featured a young [[Nick Kamen]].<ref name="guardian1">{{cite web|author=Chrissy Iley |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/apr/17/fashion.popandrock |title=Chrissy Iley talks to fashion designer Antony Price | Fashion |publisher=The Guardian |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |

The [[Camden Palace]] Extravangaza<ref name="showstudio1"/> in 1983 was the first Fashion show to be televised and went out at peak viewing time on a Saturday evening on [[ITV]].

[[Steve Strange]] had taken a fashion collection representing the Best of British [[Fashion]] (5 different U.K. fashion designers including [[Antony Price]]) to [[Le Palace]] in Paris, where he orchestrated a one off fashion event entitled la soiree MOTIVIATION on Wednesday, 7th April, 1982. [[Steve Strange]] used this show to promote his second [[Visage]] album [[The Anvil]], using tracks from the ablum as a sountrack for the show. Motivation was the b-side of the 1st single from the album [[The Damned Don't Cry]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shapersofthe80s.com/blitz-kids/strange-takes-fashion-to-the-french/ |title=1982, Strange takes fashion to the French | ➢➢ Shapers of the 80s ➣➣ |publisher=Shapersofthe80s.com |date= |accessdate=2012-06-02}}</ref> |

Antony Price is one of the United Kingdom's most recognised fashion designers.
He was born in Keighley, Yorkshire in 1945.
Antony Price is famous for his intrinsic connections to the music world.
He has collaborated with a number of performers, including David Bowie, Steve Strange and Duran Duran, but is best known for his close working relationship with Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music, whose respective 'looks' were defined by Price's designs.[1][2]
He has been credited as the chief illusionist of what he dubbed "the Roxy Machine" and contributed to all eight album covers – something which can be boasted by no-one besides Bryan Ferry himself. The manner in which Price dressed – or in many cases, undressed – the "Roxy girls" on the covers of their albums helped to define the band’s pop retro-futurism. More recently, Price has been noted for dressing celebrities such as Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Patsy Kensit, Anjelica Huston,[3] Jerry Hall and Camilla Parker Bowles.[4]
Antony Price grew up in the Hamlet of Selside in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. He was educated at Eshton Hall School for Boys in Gargrave, Yorkshire. At the age of 16, he gained entrance to the Bradford College of Art (following fellow student David Hockney's painterly footsteps but instead into the world of Fashion) in September 1961, completing a one year General Art and Design course, followed by specialising for three years in Womenswear Fashion, where he developed his trademark skill in pattern cutting and architectual garment construction in the vein of his idols, Givenchy and Balenciaga, under the stewardship of his tutor, Mrs Betts.
In 1965 at the age of 20, he gained entrance to the Royal College of Art's Fashion School in London under the guidance of Janie Ironside where he completed a 3 year course - 2 years in Womenswear Fashion,the final year and degree show in Menswear Fashion, DES R.C.A. Price credits his time at the Bradford School as invaluable in preparing him for the Royal College, saying: "I arrived at the Royal College of Art with a total headstart and was able to whip my own show together."[5]
In 1968 he won the Three M's Bursary Award with a Menswear Fashion outfit and subsequently joined the fledgling Sterling Cooper fashion company alongside the Womenswear designer, Jane Whiteside. Together they opened the famous Sterling Cooper shop (designed by Price and Whiteside) in London's Wigmore Street which was frequented by the Rock and Roll faternity of the day i.e. Rolling Stones, Traffic, Cream and Pink Floyd etc - who were particular amoured with Price's Bridge Crutch Trousers that became a Rock business fashion necessity - setting Price on his journey in Glamour and Rock and Roll. (The Rolling Stones were his earliest customers, with Jagger wearing the Side Button Trousers on the infamous Gimme Shelter tour). After Whiteside's departure, Price designed iconic Womenswear pieces, including the much copied Spiral Skirts and Block Sleeve Head.
In 1971, Price moved from Sterling Cooper to Che Guevara for two years (owned by Dave Shimeld) as the lead designer to launch it's own range of Womenswear. Price and Whiteside also designed Che Guevara's large and exciting flag ship store in High Street Kensington following the success of the initial store. This created a lot of interest because of the store's fashionable 1930s art deco appeal.[6]
At this time Price started his collaboration with the American fashion photographer Karl Stoecker and created photographs for Vogue.[7][8]
In 1972, Price joined the Plaza Clothing Company which specialised in the mass production of garments in Portugal. He spent 5 years working in Portuguese factories concentrating on developing ranges of stretch garments that sold in extremely large quantities to all major fashion outlets and retailers in the United Kingdom and abroad.[9]
From this point Price's artistic relationship with the singer Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music was on-going through out the Seventies producing some of the periods most classic and iconic visual images in both video and album cover form to promote the band and Bryan Ferry's solo projects along with the photographer Karl Stoecker and models Amanda Lear, Kari-Ann Muller (Jagger), Marilyn Cole and Jerry Hall. At the same time, Stoeker, Price and Gala Mitchell collaborated with Lou Reed for the Transformer back cover album artwork.[10][11]
In 1978, the success of the Plaza Clothing Company enabled Price to open a third shop on the King's Road in Chelsea, London, which became the centre for Rock and Roll Glamour for the stars and also involved major interest from various magazines; Vogue, Tatler and Harpers and Queen. The blue glass exterior of the shop was hailed in high esteem by retail architects and the media as it had a revolutionary method of visual merchandising, i.e. the clothes were displayed as art within the store. The window was a huge television/cinema screen displaying controversial fashion images of the clothes sold within.[12][13]
In 1979, Price and his business partner Richard Cunninghmam (Head of Sales at Plaza) began a 15 year business relationship and took over the Plaza shop launching his own label, Antony Price.[14]
In March 1980, Antony Price produced his first major show for London Fashion Week A/W 1980 collections at the Pillar Hall, Olympia, London.[15]
This was filmed by John Maybury and featured the models Jerry Hall and Marie Helvin (as vampish icons of sexual glamour - he had honed this look whilst working with Kari-Anne Muller (Jagger), Amanda Lear and Gala Mitchell in the early 1970s). The Menswear section of the show featured a young Nick Kamen.[16]
In 1982 Price collabrated with the British band Duran Duran and their style guru Nick Rhodes for the Rio video and album sleeve which saw them depart from their New Romantic roots of the 1st album into more a glamorous commercial style - appearing in silk tonic suits designed by Price.[17][18] Price then also successfully completed a massive world tour with the Rolling Stones.[19][20]
His next major show was at The Camden Palace in March 1983 (which was a pay to see all ticket show) and hosted by his Fashion celebrity friend, the King of the New Romantics, Steve Strange (who created and run The Camden Palace after the the Blitz). The Camden Palace Extravangaza[9] in 1983 was the first Fashion show to be televised and went out at peak viewing time on a Saturday evening on ITV. Price had collaborated with Steve Strange and the photographer Helmut Newton on The Anvil in 1982. Steve Strange had taken a fashion collection representing the Best of British Fashion (5 different U.K. fashion designers including Antony Price) to Le Palace in Paris, where he orchestrated a one off fashion event entitled la soiree MOTIVIATION on Wednesday, 7th April, 1982. Steve Strange used this show to promote his second Visage album The Anvil, using tracks from the ablum as a sountrack for the show. Motivation was the b-side of the 1st single from the album The Damned Don't Cry.[21]
In March 1984 another Fashion Spectacular Fashion Show occured at the Fashionable London Night Spot, The Hippodrome, which featured his trademark shoulders - which would influence the rest of the Eighties.[22]
Other shows followed in 1985 when Price collaborated with Bob Geldoff for Fashion Aid at the Royal Albert Hall which included his show-stopping dress and concept for Jerry Hall.[23]
During this period of the Mid-Eighties, Price continued with his wholesale Fashion business and special rock and film star commissions too numerous to mention - which included personalities and Royalty and included collaborations with Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Paul Young, Spandau Ballet, Tina Turner and David Bowie and also another world tour with the Rolling Stones in 1984.[24][25]
In 1985, Price designed another iconic shop and interior for his South Molton Street flag ship store which was his forth store design.[26][27]
In the mid-Eighties Price also collaborated with his friend Simon Foster (the Barbados Couturier) on Fashion Shows for Royalty and Rock Royalty on the islands of Mustique and Barbados which continued into the Nineties.[28]
In 1988 and 1989, with a roster of famous clients dressed over a long career, Price rejoined the London Fashion Week circuit with two glamorous shows (A/W 1988 at The Fashion Theatre, Olympia and A/W 1989 at the Chelsea Waterfront) which won him the Glamour Designer of the Year Award in 1989 which was featured and profiled by Sarah Mower in British Vogue in March 1990.[29]
The 1988 show included the first outing of Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Lebon and Talisa Soto and the garments were photographed on Emma Samms and was featured in British Vogue. The shows continued from his Hotelier in the Oval, London. His 1990 S/S show featured iconic lace dresses that were worn by many famous sport stars, film stars and rock stars.[30]
In 1990, Price produced work for a Guiness Television Advertisement campaign starring Gina Bellman.[31]
Price has worked on Television Advertisement campaigns for Cadburys, Smirnoff Vodka, Red Stripe, Salem Cigarettes and others for example.[31]
In 1992, Price designed a range for a mass production evening wear company that was photographed on Tatjana Patitz by John Swannell.[28]
In the same year, Price costumed Annie Lennox in Mercuy Silver and Black for the Freddy Mercury Memorial Concert for the perfomance of Under Pressure with David Bowie and in the same year also costumed Bananarama.[32]
Between 1994-1998, Price operated his Coturiere Hotelier business based in Chelsea's Kings Road, London, for his private client base with his new business Natalie Dwek.[33]
In December 1995, Price did a big show in Barbados with his long-time friend, Simon Foster for their unique client base.[28][33]
Price collaborated with milliner Philip Treacy on clothing for his couture shows at London Fashion Week, New York and Paris from 1995-1997 and continued to collaborate on subsequent Philip Treacy shows in London and Paris which utilised Price's "Car Bonnet Moulded Dresses".[34]
During this period Antony Price was associated by the Press with the vacancy at Versace after the death of Gianni Versace in 1997.[35]
Subsequently Price moved his Coturiere business to a new shop in Chelsea, London with his new business partner Dean Aslett in 1999.[36][37]

In December 2006, Price was photographed by David Bailey for British Vogue.[40]
Through out the noughties Price continued his collaborations with Bryan Ferry and Duran Duran for their world tours.[41]
Price produced menswear outfits for the boy band JLS on ITV's X Factor and also created 13 Joseph Dream Coats for the Andrew Lloyd Webber Reality Television Show Any Dream Will Do! for the BBC in 2007.[42]

The clothes were aimed at their 15-21 year old trend setting customer. The clothes sold extremely well on how they looked for that market.[43][44]
