Rolls-Royce unveils the Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed collection featuring a number of exclusively-created Bespoke design and engineering features, executed to create a contemporary tribute to Campbell’s famous craft. The car is finished in a specially developed “Maggiore Blue” exterior paint, inspired by Bluebird’s famous color scheme. Nine layers of paint are applied before an exhaustive process of hand-sanding and the application of a cutting-edge powdered lacquer is undertaken to ensure an impeccable finish. For the first time in Rolls-Royce history, the exterior finish extends to the engine, creating a visually striking homage to the power behind Campbell’s records. The finish also adorns the car’s specially developed, fully-polished 11-spoke wheels for the first time, providing a subtle decorative accent.NIKE FLYKNIT RACER HERREN The exterior is completed with a hand-painted coachline that culminates in a Bluebird motif with the design taking Rolls-Royce’s master coachline painter four hours to apply by hand. Phantom Drophead Coupé’s traditional teak decking to the rear makes way for brushed steel. Each piece of material is individually panel-beaten by hand for 70 hours following initial mechanical pressing. A Rolls-Royce craftsperson will then hand-brush the metal for over 10 hours – showcasing the fastidious attention to detail and commitment employed by Rolls-Royce.NIKE AIR MAX 2016 The car’s Maggiore Blue exterior finish is subtly echoed on the interior via accents on the dashboard that complement the Windchill Grey interior leather scheme.Milanese fashion house Prada has released their Fall 2015 menswear campaign starring actors Michael Shannon, Scoot McNairy and Tye Sheridan.

Simon-Porte Jacquemus looked to the south of France — Provence in particular — for inspiration for his SS17 collection,NIKE AIR HUARACHE CHAUSSURES and found it in les Santons de Provence, which are traditional figurines depicting classic elements of life in the idyllic region. Naturally,MBT KIMONDO MEN Santons are dressed in typical Provencal costume — a quiet, humble look that was mirrored by JACQUEMUS’ collection. A muted,ADIDAS ORIGINALS TUBULAR SHADOW neutral palette of white, beige, black, and the like is hit with occasional splashes of color and pattern. The designer’s choice of fabrics is similarly low key; SS17 for JACQUEMUS is all about linen, cotton, wool and lace. Garments-wise, JACQUEMUS played with proportions, as shoulder and sleeves dramatically exploded outward, trousers were cut billowing and oversized. It’s a dreamy, wistful abstraction of traditional French peasant dress. For more from Paris Fashion Week, check out Anthony Vacarello’s debut at Saint Laurent, which is all about ’80s power babes.
