What do Wale Adeyemi, Jimmy Choo & Jasper Conran all have in common?
As part of the 2001 Nokia Designer Collection, Nokia being the official mobile phone for London Fashion Week, the Nokia 8210 was chosen as the canvas for selected artists to bring to life their designs.
An extract from the associated pamphlet reads:
‘Daring to be different…
Is one way to describe the latest Nokia Designer Collection, Wale Adeyemi goes for the trademark graffiti style, while Guvinda uses catwalk photography and material swatches. There’s a gritty glittering British Bulldog look from Gabby Harris and stylish flower power from Jimmy Choo, while Clements Ribeiro stuns us with bold lightning strikes. Whatever your look see how some of the country’s top designers make fashion truly mobile.’
Items were sold via an online auction, in support of the Terrence Higgins Lighthouse Trust, and have now become extremely collectible pieces of fashion.
