Intersection Magazine - Car Couture |
Monday, 03 March 2008 |
One of our favorite auto magazines, the ever-stylish Intersection
(think of it as I-D for car buffs), has always made its mission tomix
man and machine, art and design and all things culture into itsview of
the automotive world. Its latest project is no exception. In an aim to
portray cars as more of a reflection of thehuman race then simply a way
to get from A to B, Intersection asked 6different fashion designers
from 6 different cities to create acar cover that represents their
individual fashion styles.
The designers were chosen for their
conceptual yet sensual, wittyapproach and because they each represent
the city they're basedin. From the real-size print by Parisian Martin
Margiela tothe mammoth box of Sydney's Ksubi, each piece offers a
perspective trueto the designer's style and method, while also
portraying an aspect of the car's personality.
The
car that each cover is modelled on is the Alfa Brera that will nowbe
parading at events from New York to London, Tokyo to Sydney, Paris
toBerlin, and finally back to Milan where she will be showing off
herexclusive new clothes. If this approach proves popular, look out for
acouture-covered car on a street near you. By Brendan McKnight
