Description:Q5051

Published to coincide with the exhibition Steve Thomas: Big Biba and Other Stories at Chelsea space between 17th September and 17th October 2008. "Steve, I really dig your artwork, man" (Mick Jagger, 1969). Male model, artist, designer, rock & roll manager, Kings Road rou and teller of tall tales Steve Thomas is one of the few survivors of the 1960s who can still remember it all. He's the man who designed the legendary Big Biba shop, who went on to work for years as Paul McCartney's personal designer, who created the livery for Formula 1 teams (and for London buses to celebrate the Queens Silver Jubilee) and whose style helped define the restaurant and club environment of the 1980s.
