Remember when Gucci shut down Times Square in May for its GucciCore show? Of course you do. Now, the collection is freed onto the streets of New York for the campaign imagery.

A Paul Smith Telecaster
Having always been intrinsically linked to the world of music, Paul Smith has now teamed up with iconic US guitar maker Fender for a limited-edition collection. Marking both the British designer’s 80th birthday and Fender’s 80th anniversary, the collection spans ready-to-wear, tailoring, accessories, and a limited-edition Made in Japan Paul Smith Telecaster. Graphics are inspired by music festivals, record stores, labels, and Smith’s favourite tree in Nottingham, while the Telecaster is decorated with the designer’s signature stripe motif.

“Music has always been central to Paul’s creative life, and his relationships with artists and musicians have influenced his work for decades,” said Edward “Bud” Cole, CEO, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. “That shared connection to music is what makes this collaboration feel so authentic. At its heart, it’s a celebration of individuality, creativity and craftsmanship – bringing two distinct points of view together and giving people something they can make their own.”
