A one-off MINI Paceman designed by Roberto Cavalli has been revealed
MINI has donated a new Paceman to be auctioned for an Aids and HIV charity at the Vienna Life Ball.
For the past 13 years, MINI has given at least one new car to a prominent designer for a makeover, before auctioning it for charity. This year, a MINI Paceman has been donated, with fashion designer Roberto Cavalli taking care of making the one-off MINI stand out.
The Paceman has been treated to a special iridescent paint job that, according to MINI, “shimmers from black to brown depending on the incidence of light.” Cavalli has added his logo to the car’s roof, too.
"This MINI was an exciting project for me”, says Roberto Cavalli. “It gave me the opportunity to be creative and finally use something very special, which I have personally invented and already used for years for my own vehicles: it is a unique iridescent paint which changes colour depending on the way the light illuminates the pigments.”
The Paceman designed by Roberto Cavalli is the fifteenth MINI to appear at the Vienna Life Ball. So far, cars auctioned at the event have raised over half a million Euros for charity.
The original MINI hatchback debuted in camouflage at the event in 2001, before it had been launched.
Previous designers who have put their individual stamp on cars include a MINI Cabrio by Versace in 2005, a MINI Cabrio by Diesel in 2006, and a MINI by photographer Mario Testino in 2007.
This year’s one-off MINI will be auctioned in the Hall of Ceremonies at Vienna’s Hofburg palace as part of the AIDS Solidarity Gala on May 25.
