In January, during the Haute Couture season, the trio will mark their official baptism
into the Paris Haute Couture scene.
The backdrop for their collection - a smart car, which has the unique capacity to park
vertically.
The car which is the result of a collaboration between Smart Car, Lalique and On Aura Tout Vu
boasts of over 1,000 multi-colored heliconia flowers adorning the automobile's hood and body.
The selling price? Rumors say that it is within six figures! It's a couture car after all!
On Aura Tout Vu has been making quite a name for itself in Paris since 1998 with its
intricate jewelry designs for houses such as Dior, Lacroix and Givenchy, as well as
its accessories, ready-to-wear and haute couture lines.
