And who better to kick off this groundbreaking initiative than David Beckham himself?

As a football legend, style visionary, and global brand ambassador, Beckham has long been an admirer of Maserati classics. Now, he has infused his personal style into these automotive creations, inspiring them to unleash their unique interpretation of the quintessential Italian sports car.

Drawing inspiration from his affinity for Savile Row fashion, Beckham has blended elements of his sartorial sense into the design of his Fuoriserie DB Essentials collection. This collection features two distinct configurations that embody Beckham’s contemporary take on some of Maserati’s most enduring models.

The first configuration pays tribute to the elegant Maserati Ghibli coupé from 1967, reimagined with a captivating “Night Interaction” blue exterior and a classic tan interior. Beckham’s second configuration honours the rare 1986 Maserati Quattroporte Royale, of which only 51 units were ever produced.

This masterpiece boasts a dignified “Verde Royale” exterior shade, complemented by warm brown leather upholstery. Each car proudly bears a commemorative metal plate, symbolizing the collaboration between Maserati and Beckham.

Klaus Busse, the Head of Design at Maserati, eloquently describes the essence of “Fuoriserie,” which translates to “custom-built” in Italian. He emphasizes that this customization program aims to create extraordinary experiences for clients, granting them the freedom to express their personality and passion by crafting their very own Maserati.

“Our Trident’s customization program is designed to offer our clients unique experiences. We want them to express their personality and passion by creating their very own Maserati. Just like David, everyone can choose from a wide range of personalization features from our Fuoriserie Corse collection, inspired by Maserati’s glorious racing heritage, and from our Fuoriserie Futura collection, dedicated to technology and new materials enthusiasts,” shares Busse.

Beckham’s Fuoriserie DB Essentials configurations are now available for customization on two current Maserati models: the MC20 and the Grecale. 

In addition to collaborating with Beckham on the Fuoriserie collection, Maserati’s pioneering spirit is evident in its forthcoming line of fully electric vehicles. With a goal of transitioning to a fully electric range by 2030, Maserati remains firmly committed to combining timeless Italian elegance with forward-thinking innovation.

Rolls-Royce has recently unveiled the Black Badge Cullinan ‘Blue Shadow’ Private Collection, a tribute to the ‘vastness and enigma of outer space’. The designers at Rolls-Royce drew inspiration from the Kármán Line, an invisible threshold located 62 miles above the Earth’s surface.

Limited to 62 examples worldwide, each representing a mile from Earth to the Kármán Line, this exclusive interpretation of the Black Badge Cullinan is available through Rolls-Royce’s prestigious Private Offices.

The exterior of the ‘Blue Shadow’ is adorned with a shimmering bespoke paint called ‘Stardust Blue,’ which perfectly captures the rich blue hues found in the upper layers of our planet’s atmosphere.

A satin-tinted grille surround and aero bumper inserts pay tribute to the thermal tiles found on spacecraft. The wheels of the Blue Shadow are subtly darkened using a translucent lacquer, completing the exterior aesthetic.

On the inside, the Rolls-Royce Starlight Headliner now features an intricate Moon embroidery, surrounded by a constellation of ‘stars’. Each ‘star’ is painstakingly added by hand, each with its own twinkling effect.

In a first for Rolls-Royce, the front and rear seats of the Blue Shadow both feature perforated artwork, inspired by the breathtaking view of Earth from space. Tiny perforations in the leather create a pattern reminiscent of ever-shifting clouds gracefully swirling above the continents and oceans.

The perforation pattern adorns the backs of the picnic tables as well. When lowered, these tables reveal a Piano Black veneer finish with a glass sparkle.

To complement the Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow, the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective has crafted a series of unique accessories.

An exclusive indoor car cover showcases a pattern reminiscent of the seats, and a bespoke luggage set complements the colour scheme of the Private Collection.

Additionally, clients can commission an exact 1:8 scale replica of their full-size Black Badge Cullinan Blue Shadow, complete with fully functioning exterior and interior lights, coach doors that open and close, and meticulous recreation of all the Collection’s details, including the Bespoke Illuminated Collection Treadplates.

I mean, got to flex it even in the living room right?

If you have insanely deep pockets, better be quick about ordering your Cullinan ‘Blue Shadow’. Orders are pouring in from Japan, Korea, Australia, and Singapore in the Asia-Pacific Region.

This collaboration, aptly named “Dreams in Colours,” marks a celebration of three decades of unwavering Porsche passion in Thailand. The vibrant kaleidoscopic sneaker collection is designed to complement the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition, an exclusive collection of 911s created to pay homage to the vivacious Kingdom of Thailand.

The sports car, available in seven captivating colours, each representing a day of the week in Thai culture, sold out quickly after its launch.

Drawing inspiration from the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, the Porsche x PUMA CA Pro 911 ‘Dreams in Colours’ Edition comes in seven radiant hues: Signal Yellow, Ruby Star, Signal Green, Pastel Orange, Riviera Blue, Ultra Violet, and Fire Red.

To honour the year Thailand became an official Porsche importer—1993—a mere 1,993 pairs of these sneakers will be brought to life.

Ludwig Tsai, the General Manager of PUMA Thailand, shares his enthusiasm, stating, “It’s been a privilege to work with Porsche to bring our collaborative Dreams in Colours campaign to life, to celebrate three decades of enduring Porsche passion in Thailand. The release of PUMA’s very special, 1,993 sneaker-strong collection has been designed so a larger group of Porsche and PUMA fans can celebrate in style, specifically Thailand’s young Dreamers.”

The MA CA Pro Puma sneakers matches the Porsche Paint-to-Sample colours from the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition’s colour swatch. Just like the owners of the 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition, sneaker enthusiasts can choose the sneaker corresponding to their birthday.

Each sneaker carries its own unique exterior limitation number, with a contemporary ‘911’ logo adorning the rear pull tab. The insoles on each side feature the Porsche 964 and the 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition.

“This collaboration between Porsche and PUMA is a tribute to all those who are, just like us, driven by dreams. Inspired by the vibrant and creative culture of Thailand, we hope every step taken in this sneaker is an expression of one’s dreams, confidence, and limitless possibilities,” said Yannick Ott, Director of Marketing at Porsche Asia Pacific.

The limited-edition Porsche x PUMA CA Pro 911 ‘Dreams in Colours’ Edition will be available for purchase starting from May 28, 2023.

Unfortunately, they are only available in Thailand, at CARNIVALTM Bangkok, Porsche Studios ICONSIAM and Siam Paragon, and selected PUMA stores throughout Thailand. Each pair retails for THB 6,500.

These aren’t just for appearances either, and the cars are more than just special paint with limited edition badges.

All cars will be painted in a lush coat of Verdant Green with a prominent white racing stripe running down the hood. The stripe will be present for both coupes and the Continental GTC drop-top, with the former having the stripe carried over the roof.

All cars also get the number 7 painted white on the grille – the same number worn by the legendary race-winning Bentley Speed 8 in 2003. Bentley also threw in bespoke pinstriping on the interior. To top it all off, there are special 24-hour badges dotted around the car, so others will know that you cashed out for something truly special.

Inside, one unique piece that sits front and centre in the vehicle are the valves of the actual race-winning engine from the Speed 8. 24 valves from the engine have been cut in half, and each car is bestowed a piece in a small display on the dash where you’d typically find the central dial on the three-gauge analogue cluster. The display also has a stamped production number, identifying it as a Le Mans Collection vehicle.

Other special touches include Bentley’s signature analogue clock but switched from a 12-hour to a 24-hour timepiece. Door sill plates and other dash trim items will feature the six-wreath emblem, symbolising Bentley’s Le Mans wins through the years. 

Bentley doesn’t specify costs or availability for the Continental GT Le Mans Collection, nor reveal exactly how many coupes or convertibles will be made. What we do know, however, is the 48 units will be for global markets, making it an extremely rare vehicle.

No harm popping into your local Bentley dealer and enquiring right?

Tumi has recently announced a new, limited edition McLaren 60th Anniversary Collection, commemorating 6 decades since the British supercar firm founded its roots. The collection was unveiled in conjunction with Tumi’s final spring 2023 campaign, aptly titled Unpack Tomorrow.

Of course, since this is Mclaren branded, the promotional materials featured Tumi crew member and McLaren Formula One Driver Lando Norris, alongside a Mclaren Artura lining the background.

Tumi’s bags have always been made with the highest quality, and these new iterations are designed with the needs of frequent travellers, and adventurers on the move. Mclaren’s signature Papaya Orange coat is fully decked out for these apparel items too.

The collection features a four-wheeled carry-on, a backpack, and a sling. Not sure how the orange would stack up against day-to-day usage, but TUMI does offer warranties on their items.

The new Tumi McLaren Collection is now available in Tumi retail shops worldwide and on Tumi’s online store. For customers who wish to see the bags in person, you can pop on down to either Tumi’s Orchard Ion or Tumi’s Marina Bay Sands outlets.
