Rolls-Royce Wraith
British automaker Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is providing a fleet of chauffeured vehicles to transport VIP and celebrities to the Richard James of Savile Row presentation during London Collections Men.
London Collections Men is taking place Jan. 8-11, with Richard James hosting its runway show at 2 p.m. on Jan. 10. Menswear fashion events are gaining ground in an arena that has been dominated by designs for female consumers, but with additional attention placed on men’s apparel, runway shows are becoming more of a spectacle.
Guest of a guest
Richard James selected Rolls-Royce as its vehicle of choice because its models are “perfectly suited to those who value the art of arrival.”
Guests who attend the Richard James runway show will be delivered to the door of the exclusive event at Sartoria at 20 Savile Row, Mayfair, London, in Rolls-Royce’s most-recent models. The fleet consists of Wraiths and Phantoms driven by the expert chauffeurs at H.R. Owen’s Chauffeur Drive division.
Richard James and Rolls-Royce are a natural pair as both brands offer a “classic refined style and combine unsurpassable quality and a desire to push the boundaries of design.”

The menswear brand was started in 1992 by designer Richard James and his business partner Sean Dixon. The brand offers both ready-to-wear lines and bespoke services in addition to footwear, accessories and fragrances.
To highlight its bespoke capabilities, Rolls-Royce will display its Wraith “Inspired by Music” model. This vehicle is a third of three from Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke Collection that features the Wraith “Inspired by Film” and the Wraith “Inspired by Fashion.”
