Marquee - The iconic London club was for many years home to the finest musical acts. From Jimi Hendrix in the 60s, Bowie in the 70s and beyond. The Marquee frequently hosted musical royalty, the purveyors of style and original trend setters. Inspired by these original innovators, the Marquee is our latest revolution. Combining hand sculpted acetate with titanium metal, the Marquee is a nod to the wild style of 70s rock culture.
