London Car Fashion Week!
Sat 2nd August 2008 at the Excel Centre, London:
Ok well it was actually just the London Motor Show but I saw similarities between a Fashion show with its catwalk and stunning statement pieces, and the motor show with the cars as unattainable, desirable models, turning for us on their rotating pedestals.
Most of the car companies had a tempting, beautifully-lit Concept Car on display. These aren’t for sale but they do highlight upcoming trends. Favs at the show were Kia’s Soul Diva and Soul Burner models. ![]()
Bling bling bling (white and gold) for the Soul Diva, and geekchic (matt black and firebox orange) for the Soul Burner model.

I’m excited by these cars because they tell me that car companies are realising that the same-old colours and dark grey interiors are not of interest to everyone. Some of us want a little bit of style with our colour, flair and function, rather than just form and function.
The matt black paint of the Kia Burner was also used by Brabus at the show. These paints are said to be undetectable by speed cameras – woohoo!! Not sure if it is true though.
Other cars of note were the graffiti Toyota Aygo,
and the pinked-out Suzuki Alto. Have a look at Fluffy Scenes, which one do you like?
