Furthermore, 187 of the 995 glittering fiberoptic’stars’ were hand-placed alongside the artwork, glowing progressively from the back and advancing forward to create a sense of movement. The piece is decorated with 162 glass organza petals, adorned by Iris van Herpen’s team, taking 300 hours of work, making it the most complex headline in Rolls-Royce’s history. The design of Phantom Syntopia is inspired by the sculptural masterpieces of Iris Van Herpen, the outer casing sparkles with a holographic purple, blue, and magenta coating with a curved ‘Liquid Noir’ print that reflects fluidity and movement. “Water can embody so many different stages - and it’s that transformation that inspires me to think of fashion from a wider perspective.” Iris van Herpen The powerful movement of the Phantom is woven into the shifting three-dimensional waves inside the car to embody the ingenuity of nature.” said Iris van Herpen. I wanted this to become a state-of-the-art experience of being overwhelmed by the forces of nature. “For this special collaboration, I was inspired by the concept of ‘Weaving Water’ and transformed the sense of being in moving into an immersive experience of fluidity inside the Phantom. The design sees the unconventional pairing cross borders with the latest innovation and design practices.
Phantom Syntopia is a completely custom-built vehicle and ready to flaunt in the spotlight as the most technically advanced Rolls-Royce Phantom ever produced. The project, called Phantom Syntopia, was inspired by van Herpen’s 2018 autumn haute couture collection which was designed on the principles of biomimicry in which art is inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature. On many levels, this collaboration was a natural symbiosis.” said Iris van Herpen in the press release. My clients come to our atelier in Amsterdam for fittings, just as Rolls-Royce clients are invited to Goodwood throughout the design and craft process.
Every garment I create is a one-off, tailor-made to my client’s individual measurements, just like every Rolls-Royce. “When I met the Bespoke Collective, I discovered that the world of Rolls-Royce is very similar to Haute Couture.
