Thom Browne and Zac Posen Re-imagine the Infiniti Q50
American fashion icons and design pioneers Zac Posen and Thom Browne joined forces with Nissan’s
American fashion icons and design pioneers Zac Posen and Thom Browne joined forces with Nissan’s luxury counterpart, Infiniti, on a redesign of the Q50 model. The collaborative project was brought forth by Gilt.com, and invited Posen and Browne to custom tailor the car’s interior and exterior as a reflection of each designer’s signature style and aesthetic. Featuring a chrome finish at the exterior, Thome Browne’s version borrows inspiration from his series statements, with a red, white and blue racing stripe running along the black leather interior. At Zac Posen’s hand, the car is given a rich velvet touch, with deep reds and smooth leathers contrasting the silver ombré effect at the exterior. With each car priced at $75,000 USD, the designers are also introducing a series of accessories – a card case from Thom Browne and smartphone clutch from Zen Posen – that are designed as an extension of the special project.
