“This iteration of Wraith provides a canvas for materials and finishes
most commonly associated with the world of fashion. Inspiration was sourced from international catwalks and bespoke
tailors, resulting in an aesthetically stunning and sartorially on-point motor car.” said Giles Taylor, Director of
Design for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars on the occasion of the recent unveiling of this new limited edition car.
‘Wraith – Inspired by Fashion’ features a two-tone exterior colour scheme of Andalucian White and Arctic White
offering a neutral setting for a choice of accent colours, namely Jasmine, Tailored Purple or Mugello Red. Wraith’s
signature shoulder-line is accentuated with the addition of a hand-applied feature-line in the chosen highlight colour,
alluding to the divergent interior of the car.

Like the finest garments, beauty is found in the subtlest details. On opening Wraith’s coach-doors you will find a
contemporary impression of the car’s classic Arctic White and Black interior colour scheme. Beyond the traditional
placement of embroidered headrests, seat stitching and piping, the accent colour has found an elegant new application via
a striking two-tone composition steering wheel. A seamless stitch, a highly complex craft technique from the world of
fine tailoring, was mastered and applied to the wheel by the craftspeople in the leather shop at Rolls-Royce.
The very finest garments are crafted exclusively from the most luxurious materials – with tactility, comfort and
quality as important an attribute as the aesthetic of the piece itself. The Bespoke design team took inspiration from
this approach in appointing the car’s front and rear door pockets with fine silks, adorned with an abstract
representation of the Spirit of Ecstasy with each emblem set precisely at fifty-five degrees to complement the lines of
the door.
The remarkable craftsmanship and attention-to-detail utilised in the manufacture of a Rolls-Royce is evident in the
exquisite application of wood to the dashboard, with the lacquering process for ‘Wraith – Inspired by Fashion’ alone
taking nine days to painstakingly complete. This is completed elegantly with the integration of a Bespoke Clock, set as a
piece of jewellery, styled exclusively to emit a pearl effect, reminiscent of silk fabrics.
The contemporary fashion theme is completed with the integration of welting, a specialist technique most commonly
associated with Bespoke tailoring. Presented as a colourful silk strip, the welting stylishly frames Wraith’s signature
leather door-panel.
