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