British designer Paul Smith puts a spin on Led Zeppelin's album covers for latest collaboration
The British designer creates six limited edition scarves
British fashion designer Paul Smith has teamed up with Led Zeppelin with a collection of scarves, featuring artwork taken from the band’s albums.
The collaboration marks the launch of the band’s newly re-mastered versions of their nine albums.
Putting a fashion spin on the images Paul Smith has created three unique designs. In order to translate the renowned imagery onto the fabric of the scarves, he had to apply the photographic technique.
Images of the band’s upcoming albums Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of Holy have already been jacquard-woven as well onto two further scarves and a brand new design has been created for a sixth scarf.
