Utilizing 2,000-plus components of a dismantled CT hybrid, Lexus has created some rather memorable car couture for the Miami Art Basel Beach.
“Elevating the notion of recycling to an art form, Lexus challenged four of fashion's most inventive designers to rethink their notions of automotive design for an advertising campaign to appear in Vogue [2012],” explains a press release from Lexus. “From crank bearings to exhaust gaskets, the designers took on the challenge with verve, turning some of the best engineered auto parts into innovative fashion accessories – all while driving home the beauty of recycling.”
The collection will be on display December 1-2, 2011, opening day of Art Basel Miami Beach. The pieces will then be sold at a private auction with proceeds benefiting the Council of Fashion Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund (CFDA).
