Anthony Michael and Stephanie Nash studied at St Martin’s School of Art, London (1978–81), and formed the partnership Michael.Nash Associates in 1984. Initial work was drawn from the music industry, as Stephanie had worked at Island Records as an in-house designer after graduating. Current projects include Sophie Ellis-Bextor and The Rolling Stones. The client base developed into the world of fashion with clients including Jasper Conran, Issey Miyake, Jil Sander, Philip Treacy, Joyce, and Patrick Cox. In the early 90s the company was commissioned to design the own-brand packaging for Harvey Nichols Food Hall, an association that continues today, and has embraced the Fifth Floor, OXO and Prism restaurants. Projects have been completed for The National Portrait Gallery, The New Art Gallery Walsall, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, H&M, Margaret Howell, Flos, Cassina, Boots, Phaidon, and the Royal Mail. There are ongoing projects for many of these clients.
