Today, Leica Camera and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe announced their collaboration on a new Leica Q “Nikki Sixx Edition” camera that will be unveiled on October 4th:
To celebrate his dedication to photography and the role Leica plays in this creative outlet for Sixx, Leica Camera will release the Leica Q Nikki Sixx Edition, a limited edition release of the rock star’s own full-frame compact camera.
The Leica Q “Nikki Sixx Edition” is a rock-star take on Sixx’s beloved Leica Q camera featuring a black snakeskin finish on leatherette with a laser-engraved Nikki Sixx signature. The Leica Q will also be accompanied by a black Leica leather wrist strap, an autographed copy of the 10th anniversary edition of Sixx’s memoir, “The Heroin Diaries” and a black DSPTCH braided shoulder strap durable enough to withstand the tough photographic environments Sixx’s frequently finds inspiration in and enjoys shooting.
The Leica Q “Nikki Sixx Edition” will be limited to an exclusive 28 units, a number which has special significance for Sixx as he overdosed on heroin at that age and was clinically dead for several minutes which ultimately provided the turning point that lead him to commence his path of recovery.
This limited edition camera will be unveiled on October 4 exclusively at the Leica Store LA.
