# Haute Couture Cars The Chanel Fiole is a Study in Elegant Black & White Design By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-03-30 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-fiole References: [autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/27/cocos-ride-what-if-chanel-designed-automobiles/) & [cardesign.ru](http://www.cardesign.ru/articles/hong_ik_university_degree_show_2008/2009/03/24/2990/) This Chanel Fiole concept car by Jinyoung Jo is a gorgeous example of what can happen when [fashion and automobiles collide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gclass-past-ii-future). Jo attends Hong-ik University in South Korea, where she's a car designer. Jinyoung Jo designed the Chanel Fiole with simplicity in mind and, as Autoblog quotes Jo, “the best of black and white.” In looking at her renderings and the final concept car, I'd say she nailed it. **Implications** - The Chanel Fiole concept can be seen in motion in the featured video clip that acts like a commercial. The beautiful couture vehicle can be seen gracefully driving down the runway, just like a Chanel model. The famous Chanel logo can be seen on the hood of the car and on the front bumper. The futuristic look of the car makes it look like a cross between an [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l) R8 and a [Corvette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-corvette). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fashion-automobile Collaboration:** The collaboration between fashion and automobile industries presents opportunities for unique and stylish vehicle designs. - **Simplicity in Design:** The trend towards simplicity in automotive design creates opportunities for elegant and minimalist concept cars. - **Futuristic Aesthetics:** The demand for futuristic-looking vehicles opens doors for innovative designs that push the boundaries of traditional car aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore collaborations with automobile manufacturers to create exclusive and stylish vehicles. - **Automobile Manufacturing:** Automobile manufacturers have opportunities to partner with fashion designers to develop unique and visually appealing concept cars. - **Luxury Retail:** Luxury retail industry can embrace the trend of haute couture cars by offering exclusive editions or customizations in collaboration with automobile brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Custom Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l.md) - [Dynamic Silhouette Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-dresscode-concept.md) - [Fashion Designer City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiat-500e-x-giorgio-armani.md) - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taron-wine-bottle-designs.md) - [Bedazzled Sequin Luxe Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystique-allure.md) - [Automobile-Focused Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-lauren-modern-driver.md) - [Collaboration Fashion Designer Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-aygo-x-undercover.md)
