If you try to think outside the box for a moment, Rolls-Royce will probably stand out as one of the automakers that are the equivalent of a fashion company in the auto industry. The British firm’s bespoke stylish creations often combine materials, colors, and techniques that are not unseen in the fashion industry, and the new Phantom Syntopia one-off follows that trend again and even elevates it to new levels.
Rolls-Royce describes the vehicle you see depicted in the gallery below as the most technically complex bespoke Phantom ever. It has been created following the Haute Couture fashion philosophy in cooperation with innovative fashion designer Iris van Herpen. For the uninitiated, Haute Couture is the process of hand-creating exclusive custom-fitted high-end fashion design, which first made waves in the mid-nineteenth century when Paris slowly started becoming the center of the world’s fashion industry.
