Rolls-Royce: Haute Couture in the Phantom made to measure 🎥
CAR AND FASHION With the Phantom Syntopia, Rolls-Royce presents the most elaborately tailored variant of this model series. The noble limousine was developed in collaboration with designer Iris van Herpen.
With the Phantom Syntopia, Rolls-Royce sets the bar even higher in terms of individualization than with previous individualized versions.
Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös: "The Phantom Syntopia is the most ambitious and unique bespoke Phantom model we have ever created. Based on the Phantom Extended Wheelbase, the one-off was created in collaboration with Dutch fashion designer and haute couturière Iris van Herpen."
Patterns and shapes from nature
The epithet Syntopia is derived from a collection by Iris van Herpen, designed according to the principles of biomimicry. Patterns and shapes are meant to be taken from nature. To create the shimmering exterior, Rolls-Royce's Bespoke team developed a unique Liquid Noir paint finish.
In sunlight, this shows purple, blue and golden undertones when viewed from different angles. To achieve this effect, the jet black color is coated with a finish that contains a mirror-like pigment. And to add the elegant shimmer, the team developed a new technique for applying pigment.
Starry sky with fiberglass stones
When the car doors are opened, the eye is immediately drawn to the Weaving Water starlight roof sky. The starry sky in Rolls-Royce cars is familiar. For the Syntopia, the already familiar Rolss-Royce starry sky was technically refined even further. It was made from a single piece of leather, into which 995 sparkling fiberglass stars were then integrated. The manufacture of the headliner took around 700 man hours. The rear seats are covered with a special silk blend fabric that creates a pattern of light reflected on water.
Perfume fragrance according to customer's request
The Phantom Syntopia is also the first Rolls-Royce model to have a tailor-made scent. This scent is released into the interior from the headrests in fine doses. The technical development took more than two years. The Phantom Syntopia will go on sale to customers in May at a naturally undisclosed price.
