MEDIA RELEASE COURTESY IDEA GENERATION
Fashion accessorising has been taken to another level with the release of The Vauxhall Pretty Taxing Fashion Collection.
Internationally renowned fashion designers including Pam Hogg, Natasha Law, Stuart Semple, Emma Bell and David David have been commissioned by the Pretty Taxing team to create bespoke tax disc holders to ensure that even your car keeps at the height of fashion.
Priced at a very affordable £10, these tax discs make the ideal gift for fashion and car lovers alike, while being a great artwork investment to ensure you’re sporting cutting-edge fashion design on your windscreen. Continuing its support for the arts, Vauxhall teamed up with Pretty Taxing to launch this latest collection – part of an ongoing partnership with Karen Ashton and Vanessa Fristedt, curators of Pretty Taxing and the Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair.
Each artwork is printed on archival quality art paper using light fast inks to ensure enduring quality and vibrancy.
It is slotted into a bespoke plastic tax disc holder to affix to your windscreen.
Check out Artists Editions too, featuring limited edition works by leading artists including Sir Peter Blake, Gavin Turk, Sarah Lucas and Gary Hume.
So ditch your standard, bland tax disc holder and purchase this season’s affordable and must-have investment to ensure your car keeps en vogue. The artworks are available online from www.artcarbootfair.com.
