THE ART OF MOBILITY: MAYBACH X VIRGIL ABLOH COLLABORATION

Words by Kyle Mckenzie

Pairing Virgil Abloh’s streetwear sensibility with Maybach’s luxury tradition might seem unlikely. Yet, it was in this space of contrasts that their collaboration thrived. Reinterpreting luxury was the goal, and there was no one better than Virgil, who consistently blurred lines between streetstyle and luxury in fashion.

The car's exterior combines Maybach's timeless elegance with the edginess that Virgil championed. With its streamlined form, avant-garde silhouette, and contemporary color scheme, it is a visual marvel. Transparency features in parts of the design, adding a distinct identity.

While the exterior commands attention, the interior is a sanctuary of luxury. Abloh's design language is pronounced in the meticulous material choices, contrasting hues, and design elements that are both functional and artistically profound.
