It’s the customized process of making a one-off,’ comments Iris van Herpen. The way we work for a client, which is a very personalised process, is similar to how Rolls-Royce works with their clients. ‘Rolls-Royce has this really beautiful balance between craftsmanship and technology. Phantom Syntopia will also be the first Rolls-Royce to include a Bespoke scent, further immersing passengers into the ethereal ride.

Pushing the boundaries of innovation, craftsmanship, and luxury, Rolls-Royce (see more here) and van Herpen (and here) extended the otherwordly design to the car interiors, where three-dimensional textile sculptures capture the movement of flowing water, alongside a unique ‘Weaving Water’ Starlight Headliner. Rolls-royce & iris van herpen: a boundary-breaking collab Washed in cool purple tones, the first-look images gently recall the lapping and reflective qualities of water. For a truly Haute Couture experience, Iris van Herpen will also design a one-off Haute Couture garment, especially for the clients of this transformative commission. Indeed, like the fashion collection, Phantom Syntopia seeks to represent the elusive, ethereal beauty of fluid motion in solid materials through its ‘Weaving Water’ theme. Four years in the making, Syntopia is the most technically complex commission ever undertaken by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective. The new luxury ridetakes its name from van Herpen’s landmark 2018 collection, designed on the principles of biomimicryin which art is inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature.
