Tommy Hilfiger releases a range of T-shirts and jackets for Rolling Stones exhibition
The icon-emblazoned clothing forms part of a touring show which opens up the band’s world to fans – from their fledgling beginnings to backstage at their sell-out concerts
After more than 50 years of rock ’n’ roll, the Rolling Stones are still pushing boundaries with their first exhibition showcasing hundreds of items from their long-running career, from Mick Jagger’s jumpsuits to Keith Richards’ guitars.
Billed as the “first ever major exhibition by [the group] and the largest touring exhibition of its kind ever to be staged”, “Exhibitionism” at Saatchi Gallery in London opens up the Stones’ world to fans – from their early, impoverished days sharing a run-down London flat in 1962 to backstage at their multimillion-dollar concerts.
US designer Tommy Hilfiger is the official apparel sponsor for the show and has designed a limited-edition Hilfiger Denim capsule collection of graphic T-shirts and custom jackets featuring the band’s imagery and iconic tongue logo.
“The Rolling Stones were one of the first bands I fell in love with as a kid, and their music has remained a huge source of inspiration for me,” says Hilfiger. “I’m honoured that the Stones have grown to become long-time friends and we have had some amazing collaborations together, including our sponsorship of their ‘No Security’ tour in 1999.
