Gary Card (born 1981) x Nintendo A Pair of Super Mario Bros. Dungarees, 2015 Cotton navy dungarees with clip buckles, adorned with a quilted menagerie of silver-coloured Super Mario characters pinned to the front, silver-coloured straps, and a plain back with jagged cut-outs at the legs Labelled medium Footnotes: To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nintendo's video game, 'Super Mario', famous names from the fashion world were asked to reimagine Mario's iconic blue dungarees. Ten designers were involved in the project, including Giles Deacon, Zandra Rhodes, and Gary Card to name a few. Gary Card, an artist, set designer and illustrator, known for his work with famous fashion brands, explained the story behind his design: 'I had an immediate reaction to the Mario brief – a cloud of quilted Mario characters jumping out of every part of the dungarees, all silver, lots of detail, lots of fun, a simple idea executed to its most satisfying conclusion. I was a huge Mario fan when I was young, always drawing him over school books and designing cool new sidekicks, now my nine year old nephew is the Mario fan, he flipped out when I told him I was working on this project. Since then I've shared each step of the design and making process with him, it's been so much fun to watch him get excited with me along the way, a testament to the universal appeal of Mario.' The ten pairs of stylistically different dungarees were auctioned off by Nintendo to raise money for the Starlight Children's Foundation in 2015. This unique pair of dungarees is now offered by the original buyer. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
