Beauty and the beast

Can a fashion model still look good while getting into the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Coupe Edition 1 that inspired her dress?

With a mutual respect for fluid lines, flattering silhouettes and limitless charge cards, it’s no surprise that we find fashion designers and prestige car manufacturers in couture cahoots.
Mercedes-Benz’s affiliation goes next-level, hosting a number of world-renowned events on the international fashion stage in Milan, London, Berlin and Paris.

Next week, Sydney finds itself front and centre for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where home-grown fashion hero and Mercedes-Benz partner, Toni Maticevski will premiere a dress inspired by the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe Edition 1.

“It’s about fluid lines, elongated drape and a mono tone of fabric which moulded and extended the body, all formed to the silhouette. Racy cut sport lines fall down to the lower back with the entire look anchored by a sports mesh body band,” said Maticevski.

"The AMG C 63 S Coupe Edition 1 is a desirable object and I wanted the dress to have that as the underlying aesthetic….alluring and sensual."

It will also take an inspired approach to enter the low-slung V8 wearing said dress. Supreme beauty and practicality are rarely aligned – a compromise in this instance we would readily concede.
