“Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Savile Row are united by a shared
understanding of luxury. Both are founded on the principle that the
finest commissions begin with the individual, whose ideas are
brought to life through extraordinary craftsmanship, attention to
detail and a commitment to Bespoke. Rolls-Royce Ghost Savile Row
celebrates the quiet kinship between two British institutions that
have spent generations creating deeply personal expressions of their
clients’ tastes, character and ambitions.”
Phil Fabre de la Grange, Head of Bespoke, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presents Ghost Savile Row: a one-of-one
Ghost Extended commission inspired by the art and craft of tailoring,
informed by connoisseurs of the Savile Row tradition. Conceived as a
motor car dressed in elegant Savile Row suiting, the two-tone Midnight
Sapphire over English White exterior is influenced by the
quintessential combination of a navy suit paired with a crisp white
dress shirt. A unique Silver Featureline evokes the subtle jewellery
elements worn by the well-tailored, such as cufflinks and a dress
watch. The theme extends inside with Navy Blue and Arctic White
leathers – subtly uplifted with embroideries and pinstriping – Open
Pore White Wood, and a hidden-until-revealed embroidery behind the
rear armrest that recalls the quiet flourish of a colourful jacket lining.
ROLLS-ROYCE AND SAVILE ROW: A QUIET KINSHIP
Rolls-Royce and Savile Row have long shared a commitment to
Bespoke. The term itself is closely associated with Savile Row, where
cloth was traditionally described as being ‘bespoken’, or spoken for,
by an individual client. For Rolls-Royce, alongside its design and
engineering disciplines, Bespoke is at the heart of the marque today –
an art and craft in which Rolls-Royce Motor Cars leads the world.
The two institutions have been close from the marque’s earliest
days: Rolls-Royce opened its first showroom in 1905 on Conduit Street,
in the heart of Mayfair, London, just moments from ‘the Row’. The
marque’s co-founder, Charles Rolls, who would accompany test drives in
the capital, was also famous for his personal style. While he was
affectionately nicknamed ‘Dirty Rolls’ for the engine oil that marked
his clothes during his time at Cambridge University, he was also known
to be immaculately dressed for formal occasions, down to the silver
pocket watch in his waistcoat. With the showroom so close by, he would
have been familiar with Savile Row and its traditions, as many of the
marque’s clients still are today. Ghost Savile Row honours this
connection with elegant details, developed in consultation with
connoisseurs of the Savile Row tradition and realised by the
Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective of designers, engineers and craftspeople.
EXTERIOR COLOUR: TWO TONES, PERFECTLY SUITED
Ghost Savile Row’s exterior colourway is inspired by the
combination of a navy suit and white dress shirt – a restrained
pairing that became the foundation of British tailoring. This colour
arrangement was popularised in the early 1800s by Beau Brummell; a
close friend of the Prince Regent, a leading figure in London society,
and now regarded as the father of modern menswear. His taste for more
elegant cuts and understated colours influenced those who followed him
and drew the capital’s finest tailors to Savile Row, establishing the
street’s legend. Accordingly, the motor car is finished in a Bespoke
Midnight Sapphire over English White two-tone.
In place of a traditional hand-painted coachline, the Bespoke
Collective has introduced a hand-painted Silver Featureline. Rather
than bisect the two-tone, this slender, bright accent line sits within
the English White upper colour, referencing the contrast of subtle
jewellery, such as cufflinks and a fine timepiece, against a white
shirt. The exterior is completed with 22-inch nine-spoke part-polished
wheels finished with body-coloured centres.
INTERIOR DETAILS: A HIDDEN FLOURISH
The same tailoring references continue throughout the interior,
where the commission’s boldest flourish awaits discovery. Lowering the
rear centre armrest reveals a Bespoke embroidery, hidden like the
colourful lining of a tailored jacket. The design is a plan view of
the square trees in the courtyard at the Home of Rolls-Royce at
Goodwood, and the shadows they cast. True to this commission’s
celebration of Bespoke, the stitch style was developed specifically
for Ghost Savile Row. Inspired by the interlocking threads of a woven
fabric, it gives the embroidery the look and feel of woven cloth laid
into leather. The artwork is the most demanding single-frame
embroidery ever created by Rolls-Royce. The piece comprises seven
colours, took nine hours to create and includes 250,000 stitches and
nearly two kilometres – 1,830 metres – of thread. Brought to life in
bold, graphic colour and the confident motifs of London’s great
fashion houses, it brings a moment of private exuberance to the
interior suite.
INTERIOR: A TRIBUTE TO TAILORING
Beyond the hidden embroidery, the language of tailoring is woven
throughout the interior. The seats are finished in Navy Blue and
Arctic White leather. The carpets, lambswool floor mats and seatbelts
are rendered in Navy Blue, with seat and door piping, contrast
stitching and embroidered RR monograms in Selby Grey. The seats
feature a Bespoke vertical run-stitch in Selby Grey, inspired by the
pinstripe of a tailored suit – the first time Rolls-Royce has applied
a pinstripe stitch to its seats. As with the meticulous
pattern-matching of a tailored garment, the stitch is aligned to the
geometry of each seat and framed by Selby Grey piping. The centre seam
of each seat back meets the vertical embroidery of the Arctic White
insert above. Set against the Navy Blue leather, the insert evokes a
pressed white pocket square tucked into the breast pocket of a jacket.
Each of the four inserts incorporates more than 16,600 stitches,
embroidered tone-on-tone in two directions, like the warp and weft of
woven cloth.
The fascia, steering-wheel spoke and door uppers are dressed in
tactile Open Pore White Wood veneer, complemented by Black Wood to the
centre console lids.
Fine tailoring is judged by details many will never notice; the
same principle applies at the Home of Rolls-Royce. Here, that
discipline is expressed with a leather-wrapped indicator stalk
finished with Arctic White stitching, an Arctic White leather-wrapped
volume control, and Navy Blue leather-wrapped climate controls.
TAILORED TO THE LAST DETAIL
Bespoke Illuminated Treadplates that feature the same design as
the hidden embroidery are fitted to all four door sills. Above them,
stored within the motor car, are Bespoke umbrellas with canopies in
Navy Blue, beading in Selby Grey and handles in Arctic White, which
complete Ghost Savile Row – a motor car tailored, quite literally, to measure.
