Nigel Waymouth was born in India in 1941
but his early childhood was spent in
Argentina. In 1954 he moved to England,
where he completed his education at
University College London.
In February 1966 he launched the now
legendary King’s Road boutique, Granny
Takes a Trip, for which he designed
clothes as well as the regularly changing
shopfronts that were it’s signature
feature. At the same time Nigel also began
a graphic design partnership, Hapshash
& The Coloured Coat, whose iconic
psychedelic posters helped to define the
aesthetic of the era. They are now part of
the permanent collection of the Victoria
& Albert Museum in London and are
often featured prominently in the museum’s
retrospective exhibitions.
