What happens when one British icon merges with another? Some very pricey garments!
Over in Warwickshire, Aston Martin has teamed up with The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World to produce the Aston Martin F1 x Rolling Stones Collection. This limited-edition collaboration features Andy Warhol’s best work—the Rolling Stones tongue logo—blended with the iconic Aston Martin wings. Logical, innit?
“Ultra exclusive, limited run, co-branded merchandise collection fusing the speed and precision of Formula One with the rebellious spirit of rock and roll,” says the RS No. 9 Carnaby website. What’s that? The website for Rolling Stones’ “flagship retail experience” that brings together music and fashion in the uber-fashionable Carnaby Street in London. (In case you need a reminder, that’s the home city of the Rolling Stones, not that wimpy Liverpudlian foursome.)
Currently, the RS No. 9 Carnaby website features three items of collaboration: T-shirt, hoodie, and baseball cap, all worn by two sullen young adults who were not alive when Tattoo You was the Stones’ latest and greatest. If you fancy yourself as both an automotive and music enthusiast, you can inspect the “wears” at rsno9.com and see if they meet your fashionable standards.
