Anna Nicole Smith is perhaps best known for her work as a Playmate during the 1990s, as well as the speculation surrounding her marriage and early demise as a result of a tragic drug overdose.
In order to pay tribute to the memory of the Texas-born model and TV personality, Primitive Skateboarding designed a collection of apparel and skate decks which show portraits of Anna Nicole Smith. In order to do so, the American label collaborated with the Anna Nicole Estate and Daniela Federici -- the photographer who was responsible for capturing the late Playmate in her iconic Guess editorial.
Included in Primitive Skateboarding's release is a hoodie, t-shirt, two skate decks and a series of pins -- all of which showcase black and white images of Anna Nicole Smith.
