In the meantime, get your Smythson x Jones fix with a gif teasing the star-studded artworks, which debuts exclusively here.Smythson's Panama diary has some seriously impressive cred. Launched in 1908, it's been used by everyone from Sigmund Freud and Katharine Hepburn to Jonathan Saunders and Dita Von Teese. For Spring '14, Smythson is releasing a full-on Panama collection, comprising diaries, address books, manuscript books, and beyond. In celebration of the new range, the brand has called in young British artist Quentin Jones to create a series of pretty wild works. The set of ten pieces will feature the aforementioned influencers, as well as Hardy Amies, Waris Ahluwalia, Erdem Moralioglu, Bryan Ferry, Kylie Minogue, and Laura Bailey. The works—done in Jones' signature, surreal style of mixed media—will explore the subjects' relationships with their Panamas. An exhibition of the art, as well as the new Panama line, will be unveiled during a special event at Smythson's New Bond Street store today, and the show will be open to the public from Monday.
