Reveal the Iconic You!": smart fortwo | BRABUS tailor made by Veronika Heilbrunner

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Veronika Heilbrunner is presenting her individual #smart fortwo | BRABUS tailor made during Mercedes-Benz #fashion Week Berlin under the motto "Reveal the Iconic You!". The collaboration between #smart and the internationally renowned stylist demonstrates the seemingly endless possibilities that the #smart #brabus tailor made programme offers customers when it comes to individualisation. Everyone can create their own personal #smart. The two-seater styled by #veronikaheilbrunner will be on show at Berlin's Appel Design Gallery between 17 and 19 January 2017, along with premium #fashion photography and a behind-the-scenes video. For the exterior paintwork the street style icon created the shade "velvet blue", which makes the sporty #smart fortwo sparkle in the sunlight. The coordinating rims are in "royal gold". Both colours have been added to the latest tailor made programme colour catalogue. The interior is dominated by black leather. A contrasting, tailor-made ruby red glass cap gleams on the gear knob. And the head restraint on the driver's seat is embroidered with the stylist's initials.

"A #smart is the perfect car for the city and, as such, the perfect vehicle for expressing urban individuality. That's what we want to show with this project. We have always found innovative ways of highlighting the creativity of the urban lifestyle car and the wide range of design possibilities the #smart offers," state Dr Denise Heinermann-Bieler and Carolin Güthenke, Senior Managers Marketing Communication and Brand Management #smart.

Veronika Heilbrunner went on a journey to gather inspiration for her individually styled #smart, speaking to creatives and designers about materials, colours and production options. This gave her a better idea of the possibilities that #smart #brabus tailor made offers. Over the course of several months, her highly personal #smart fortwo | #brabus tailor made gradually began to take shape.

"It was an inspiring experience for me, designing a car rather than #fashion. I wanted to experiment with colours and materials to create something very personal," stated #veronikaheilbrunner. "As individual as I am, and as creative as #fashion – the #smart fortwo | #brabus tailor made by #veronikaheilbrunner reflects my ideal of perfect individualisation."

Although the car is a one-off, customers will be able to create an almost identical replica for their own private use with the aid of the #smart #brabus tailor made programme.

The internationally renowned #fashion photographer Sabrina Theissen captured the process of creating the #smart fortwo | #brabus tailor made by #veronikaheilbrunner in an impressive series of images. These photographs, along with the vehicle itself and a film featuring behind-the-scenes details and interviews with #veronikaheilbrunner form part of the MADE exhibition at the Appel Design Gallery in Berlin-Mitte. The exhibition will be open from 12 noon until 6 pm on 18 and 19 January during Mercedes-Benz #fashion Week Berlin. Anyone who is interested will also be able to admire the exhibits via smart's (international) channels on the social web.
