The exhibition celebrated an ode to over seventy years of four-wheeled wonders.Laurens automobile collection teams dashboard leathers and glittering chrome in an anthology of timeless designs including some of the most emblematic cars of the 20th century. The iconic exhibition is the first of its kind to be featured in an art museum. The exhibition tells the story of the evolution of car design and technology from the thirties mainly to the sixties, with a glimpse into the end of the 20th century. “Although Lauren is famed for its fashion creations but cars were the designers boyhood fashion,“ said exhibition curator Rodolphe Rapetti.Lauren’s collection of cars is known to boast of multiple vintage Ferraris and Porsches. But the crown jewel of Ralph’s collection of cars definitely has to be the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic; one of the two surviving Atlantics (only three were made) designed by Jean Bugatti.
