The Mercedes-Benz CLK designo by Giorgio Armani combines the unrivalled design talents of Mercedes-Benz with the elegance of Giorgio Armani. Armani´s exceptional feeling for colours and materials helped shape this special series, which is being produced in a limited edition of 100.
The car was presented at the Mercedes-Benz showroom on the Champs Elysées 118 in Paris. Giorgio Armani created a unique environment for the showroom to complement the design philosophy of the car, using selected items from his Armani Casa home furnishings collection and fabrics that have been used in the special-edition CLK.
The joint cooperative venture between the Stuttgart-based car maker and the Milan-based fashion designer started with a show car which was received with great enthusiasm when unveiled in Autumn 2003 in Milan during Fashion Week. In close cooperation with DaimlerChrysler Advanced Design Center in the northern Italian town of Como and based on a design philosophy which focused on style, elegance, quality and timelessness, the partners created a Mercedes-Benz CLK 500 Cabriolet bearing the unmistakable hallmark of Giorgio Armani. |
