A luxury car, built perfectly to suit the hot season! The show stopper for summer 2015, an all white Rolls Royce, is here! A blanket of white exteriors and interiors with Jasmine contours brings a high-level of perfection, to the pure colour. I wonder why none of the haute couturists thought of this combination, for their summer-2015 collections?! Well, Rolls Royce did and the luxury car brand is calling it the ‘Wraith -Inspired by fashion’. The luxurious Rolls Royce 2015 white car is a special ‘Wraith’ dedicated to the art of haute couture.
Akin to commissioning a fine suit or elegant piece of couture, the journey of creating a Rolls Royce 2015 white car begins at the marque’s equivalent of the tailor’s atelier. This luxury all white car was crafted at design studio of Rolls-Royce, in Goodwood, England. Here, the designers honed the aesthetic theme of the car, drawing inspiration from colour palettes, materials and techniques used in the world of high fashion. The result is an extraordinary interpretation of Wraith’s characteristic blend of power, style and drama. And finally an ultimate luxury car for the 2015, summer.
‘Wraith – Inspired by Fashion’ comes in two-tone exterior colour scheme of Andalucian White and Arctic White. Accompanying the two shades of white are – neutral accents of Jasmine, tailored Purple or Mugello Red. Rolls-Royce 2015 white car, Wraith’s signature shoulder-line is accentuated, deftly with the addition of a hand-applied feature-line in the chosen highlight colour.
Like the finest Bespoke garments, beauty is found in the subtlest details. On opening, Rolls-Royce 2015 white car Wraith’s coach-doors, you will find a contemporary impression of the car’s classic Arctic White and Black interior colour scheme.
Beyond the traditional placement of embroidered head-rests, seat stitching and piping, the accent colour has found an elegant new application via a striking two-tone composition steering wheel. A seamless stitch, a highly complex craft technique from the world of fine tailoring, was mastered and applied to the wheel by the craftspeople in the leather shop at the Home of Rolls-Royce.
The contemporary fashion theme is completed with the integration of welting, a specialist technique most commonly associated with Bespoke tailoring. Presented as a colourful silk strip, the welting stylishly frames Wraith’s signature leather door-panel.
