Rolls-Royce has unveiled a new ‘Inspired by Fashion’ special edition of its Dawn convertible. As the name suggests, the new car from the company’s bespoke service takes its cue from the world of haute couture and has been created by a team of designers from fashion, fine textiles and luxury accessories.
The result is an exterior that combines a neutral Andalucian White paint with a choice of three bright folding roof colours – Mugello Red, Cobalto Blue and Mandarin. The hand-painted coachlines along the car’s sides mirror the colour of the roof.
Inside, subtle accents continue the theme in an Arctic White and Black interior colour scheme, with the leather stitching, piping and embroidery matching the roof colour. The interior also features unusual textures and fine silks in the door pockets that are adorned with an abstract representation of the Spirit of Ecstasy. Each emblem has been set at a 55-degree angle to complement the lines of the door.
The dashboard is finished in Piano White with aluminium particles that Rolls-Royce says give it a silk-like appearance. The lacquering process alone takes nine days. A bespoke clock sits in the centre of the dash, styled to imitate metallic fabrics.
The Rolls-Royce Dawn – Inspired by Fashion – will be available to order in international markets from November.
