Porsche has teamed up with New York fashion label Aimé Leon Dore (ALD) and restored a 911 Super Carrera (SC) for this year’s New York Fashion Week. ALD founder and creative director Teddy Santis decided to have the car finished in the ‘Olive’ classic Porsche color and have rally-inspired auxiliary lights fitted to the bonnet alongside Fuchs wheels and a roof rack.
The interior of the car is just as special
as the exterior. For example, Persian carpets have been used as floor mats and
are also found in the door panels. In addition, the original Recaro seats were
restored by Recaro itself and all the materials used in the cabin were
processed by hand.
Porsche and ALD displayed the 911 SC at
Porsche’s flagship showroom in Manhattan over the weekend. “Working in
partnership with Porsche is always a deeply humbling experience and a
privilege, but this project specifically left me with a deeper appreciation for
the company, its core values, and the amazing people that work there,” added
Santis. “It is a testament to the dedication, resourcefulness, and vision of
the Porsche team that our relationship became tighter during the coronavirus
crisis when all our plans were being thrown into chaos and we needed to adapt.
More so than ever, the realization of this project is as much about teamwork
and collective belief as it is about the shared vision of the two brands.”
