When my friends Gil and Lorena casually told me last Friday night they got a new toy in the form of the limited-edition Fiat by Gucci from Fiat of North Miami, you bet your bottom dollar I wanted a tour of the petite pimped-out ride. Above is a pic of me with the iconic red-and-green seat belts. Talk about safety chic!
There have been several design collaborations with vehicles — Hermès for Bugatti and Cartier for Lincoln Town Car to name a few. The most obvious design element of the 500 by Gucci cabriolet’s exterior? The red-and-green stripe on the retractable top.
Talk to me about these haute hubcaps — interlocking Gs add a serious dose of va-va-voom.
And of course there’s a Gucci logo shift knob. Duh.
The seats are hand’s down the best part about this design collab — Gucci Guccissima leather seats with Gucci stripe seat belts are, well, conspicuous consumption at its finest
.
And here we have the posh posterior. How much does couture you can drive cost? The hardtop model starts at $23,500. What design collaboration would you love to see next?
