This new special Rolls Royce Dawn model comes with a pretty self-explanatory ‘Inspired by Fashion’ title.
Design director Giles Taylor gathered a team of designers from the worlds of fashion, fine textiles and luxury accessories in order to create the new version of the Dawn model.
These designers opted for a classic Andalucian White paintjob with a hand-painted coachline, matched with a choice of three different vibrant colors that are said to set the tone for the 2017 Spring/Summer collection and I bet you didn’t expect to read that sentence on our site. The three colors are Mugello Red, Cobalto Blue and Mandarin and adorn selected aspects in the cabin and that fabric roof.
“Our clients are the very arbiters of fashion, tastemakers who sit in the front row of the Couture shows, themselves influencing evolving trends,” comments Giles Taylor, Director of Design for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “To them, the commissioning of fine luxury objects represents a deeply-involving curatorial process – with different forms of luxury design, craft and execution serving as inspiration for the other.”
The rest of the cabin is dressed with Arctic White and Black leather, with the steering wheel getting a seamless stitching treatment, which apparently is a ‘highly-complex craft technique from the world of fine tailoring’.
The dashboard is finished in Piano White with aluminum detailing that according to Rolls Royce results to a ‘silk-like’ appearance. The company even appointed the front and rear door pockets with fine silks that are adorned with an abstract representation of the Spirit of Ecstasy with each emblem set precisely at 55 degrees to complement the lines of the door.
Rolls Royce will begin taking orders for the new Dawn ‘Inspired by Fashion’ this November.
