Arthur Peters - Fashion Designer PDF  | Print |  E-mail
ImageArthur Peters arrived in England on Sunday 14th January 1972 to join his mother who had emigrated when he was three. He attended St. Johns Southworth Comprehensive School in Preston where his family lived. After leaving school at sixteen, he worked as a tailor’s apprentice for 3 years. He then went on to Lytham St. Anne’s College of Higher Education where he did a two year course of ‘O’ and ‘A’ Levels.

In 1977, Derby College of Art and Technology (now the University of Derby) offered him a place on their 3 year Diploma in Fashion course which he completed in 1980. Soon after that, he set up a studio at home and then later at 44a Friar Gate in Derby, which he kept going until he made the move to London in 1986.

He lived and worked in SW London since 1987 right up until his death in June 2008. “I discovered my skills or talent at the tender age of seven and I am still doing it – and may I add – very happy doing it too.”

Arthur has dabbled in modelling, acting, and performing, but nothing ever seems to come close to sculpting cloth. “I thank the universe for giving me such a wonderful gift.” After many years designing made- to-measure clothes, he went into go into the retail business. Life also gave him a daughter, a son, and a grandson.
