Paul Smith Limited Edition Talking Heads T-Shirts

For autumn/winter 12 Paul Smith and Talking Heads have collaborated on a three-piece capsule collection of T-shirts.

 Paul Smith was given very rare access to the Talking Heads’ archive in New York – an extensive collection, comprising of backstage passes, photographs, storyboards, set-lists and lead vocalist David Byrne’s original artwork ( which has never been published).

Paul was keen to convey the breadth and depth of the archive in the collection. Items he discovered when leafing through boxes formed the basis of the T-shirt designs. These included the album cover from Remain in Light, single cover from ‘Road to Nowhere’, a sketch of David Byrne’s famous big suit, and a selection of gig passes.
