Rolls Royce is in luck and it is not for less. It closed last year 2022 as one of the best in its more than 100 years of history. The proof is that its sales and profits were record and for this year his plan is to replicate them but not exceed them. Well, for this he has already announced a first model that, although it is well known among us, will not leave the most staunch fashion indifferent: the Rolls Royce Phantom Syntopia.
The Phantom is, saving a lot of distances, like the Clio from Renault or the Panda from Fiat. And you will ask yourselves, is this not a somewhat out of place comparison? Well, yes, but with it I don't mean that it looks like one or the other, but that it is one of the best-known models of the English house. And to create the Phantom Syntopia in the house of Derby have seen fit to trust in the hands of a renowned haute couture designer..
The Rolls Royce Phantom Syntopia follows the fashion philosophy of "Haute Couture" and has been created by Iris van Herpen...
Personally, Iris van Herpen doesn't sound like anything to me. Perhaps it will be because my economy does not allow for many more joys than those of 99% of the mortals that populate the world. But from the looks of it she is a fashion designer who is dedicated to haute couture and has "great tradition" in her native country and among Rolls Royce clients. In fact, to shape this Phantom Syntopia has worked together with Bespoke special preparations division.
According to Bespoke, it is the most complex creation they have produced in their entire history. but also the one they are most satisfied with. The basis on which all parties involved have worked is the Phantom Extended and its design was inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature. In fact, the basic pattern of her design is based on the previous collection that the designer presented and that took four years to transpose.
Rolls Royce calls the theme of this creation Weaving Water. So that you understand it, it comes to be something like "the beauty of fluid movement in solid materials". Compared to a "normal" Phantom, it stands out for the roof made of a single fold of selected leather. As a complement, the 162 cuts that have been made by hand give it a three-dimensional effect that has cost almost 300 hours.
Another interesting detail is the picnic table design. They use various types of paints and lacquers that give it that glass look. To come up with the formula, the Exterior Surface Center worked for four months. However, if you liked it, we are sorry to tell you that you will not be able to buy it. The brand has promised that there will only be one and it will not be replicated anymore...
