Fabienne Delvigne is collaborating with BMW for the launch of the new i8 Roadster. To mark the launch of the i8 Roadster, BMW commissioned Fabienne Delvigne to design hats that reflect the exclusivity, modernity and elegance of this new electric convertible sports car. This collaboration forms part of an artistic and creative endeavour, at the crossroads of the automotive world, where fashion and sport meet. «Although the automotive world is often described as masculine, it is nonetheless very popular with women. Belgium is also home to several internationally renowned female racing drivers, and I wanted to bring a touch of glamour to this male-dominated world,» explains the designer. Artisanal craftsmanship, elegance, luxury and femininity: these are the hallmarks of Maison Fabienne Delvigne, brought to bear in this partnership. The «Electra» hat A brown straw helmet-style hat inlaid with bronze-coloured and transparent lamé fibres that lend it an electric feel. Dynamic and airy, it is reminiscent of the helmets worn by racing drivers on the circuit. The «Vanina» cap Designed for the active, young and dynamic woman, this cap, trimmed with a leather band, is reminiscent of a car’s interior. Simple, elegant lines crafted from refined, high-quality materials.
