A unique #event is currently taking place in #paris. Covered with millions of fine glitter and pearlescent reflections, a #ds9 gate-crashed the #paris Fashion Week Haute Couture shows.
Based on #ds9 E-TENSE 225 RIVOLI + Rubis Red OPERA interior, this prototype features a colour that has an electrifying effect. Wrapped in a coloured film that mixes golden glitter and pearlescent particles, the bodywork diffracts light to reflect the colours of the rainbow. Starting with yellow, #ds 9’s colour changes to navy blue or reddish orange depending on the angle you’re viewing it from.
Designed to break the rules of the large statuesque saloon, this colour has a two-tone effect which makes #ds 9’s lines even more sculptural, by intensifying its sharp edges and emphasising how its gentle curves develop.
Vincent Lobry, Project manager Color, Materials, Finish for #ds Automobiles Concept-cars: “We looked to create a radical finish for a large statuesque saloon like #ds9. By bending the rules of High Fashion and with locations in #paris dedicated to modern art like the Palais de Tokyo, we came up with a colour that has an electrifying effect. Depending on the angle, the view changes to reflect the colours of the rainbow. This approach is also part of a far-reaching research and development project into the colours of tomorrow.”
