Stepping out of a Rolls-Royce in nothing but the finest attire is the dream that inspires many to chase success. So, it’s only fitting that high fashion has inspired high luxury.

Debuting this Friday, Rolls-Royce will reveal its “Wraith – Inspired by Fashion,” a bespoke example of the luxury brand’s luxury coupe. The reveal will take place at New York’s PRATT institute, known worldwide for producing influential art and design professionals. This stellar vehicle will take center stage during the school’s “Women of Influence in the Business of Style” event.

Modern luxury and haute couture go hand in hand with this latest edition of the Wraith. While we only have to wait just a couple days for it to be unveiled, we already know to expect materials and colors to be pulled from the swatches of the fashion world’s most stylish designers.

‘Wraith – Inspired by Fashion’ provides an exquisite canvas to create a cool, daring and seductive motoring style, and I look forward to sharing our work with the world at the event in New York,” said Michelle Lusby, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bespoke Designer.

This latest Wraith follows the “Wraith – Inspired by Film,” which got a similar treatment, where the glamor of classic Hollywood was the source of inspiration for Rolls’ “And the World Stood Still” promotional video. The video, in turn, inspired the special edition Wraith, like a very expensive, diamond encrusted ouroboros.

Wraith – Inspired by Fashion was the subject of a landmark photo shoot in the automaker’s South of England production line. We won’t get to see the results until Friday, but Rolls-Royce has provided a couple teaser images that give us a peek at how much style the special edition Wraith will be packed with. We’re looking forward to seeing the whole thing do a turn for us in just a couple days.

Kim Kardashian can get a deepfake taken off YouTube. It’s much harder for you
Kim Kardashian Deepfake Interview Image

YouTube took down an incredibly realistic -- and fake -- video purporting to show Kim Kardashian West discussing a shadowy organization called “Spectre” and mocking her fans for violating copyright. The takedown on Monday could give public figures a new weapon in the fight against deepfakes, but it won’t help much as fake videos increasingly target everyday people.

Deepfakes -- or incredibly realistic fake videos -- have grown from a nuisance to a worldwide problem as they’ve become harder and harder to detect. The videos can essentially make it look like someone said something when they never did, and could be used for all kinds of nefarious purposes, from pranks to politics.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
