This was an opportunity to do something really different, the chance to replicate a set of iconic race overalls from the 1971 film Le Mans starring Steve McQueen. We had less than a week to turn a blank set of overalls into the finished article, it was done with time to spare & we have been receiving fantastic feedback from the client (who is racing in the suit at the Nurburgring this weekend!!). Lucky guy!! The top photo shows a comparison between the original overalls & the replica set, the originals sold for just under $1million in 2011, the replica set were a real bargain!! Once in a while something really special comes along. This week saw one of those rare opportunities when I was asked to recreate the iconic LeMans race overalls worn by Steve McQueen (the coolest man to ever walk the planet)!! To say I'm excited about this project would be an understatement and I hope I can do them justice. Below is a photograph of exactly what the client wants to see when the race suit is complete. This is a chance to show a couple of the 'one-offs' I have been asked to do recently. These are both on aprons & are 100% unique and fun to do. |
