Paul Smith designs minimalist Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy posters

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy has had four arty limited edition posters created in its honour by Sir Paul Smith.

The film of John le Carré's 1974 novel is helmed by Tomas Alfredson and the director apparently took advice from Smith to create his vision of '70s London.

It premiered at the Venice Film Festival this weekend and from the sound of it Smith's influence helps gives it that authentic '70s mood and colour.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy opens in the UK on 16 September.
