A Designer Car to Complete Your Look

by Alyssa Shapiro

Ever feel like your carefully prepared outfit and immaculate makeup isn't enough? Take a fashion car for a spin — Gilt.com will sell extremely limited edition (as in one each) Infiniti Q50s designed by designers Thom Brown and Zac Posen. Talk about exclusive.

If the exclusivity of it all isn't enough to convince you that shelling out $75,000 is worth it (it's $65,000 plus a $10,000 Gilt shopping credit), consider that the sales will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Whoever is doing the PR for St. Jude's knows what's up. They're the ones with those heartbreaking and celeb-laden holiday-time commercials asking for donations. If there ever was a worthy cause, this is one, and it makes a heck of an excuse for buying a new car.

The interiors and exteriors will display each designer's aesthetic, the interior of Thom Browne's veering toward his menswear look of racing stripes (appropriate!) over the leather seats. The outside will be a slick, mirrored silver. Zac Posen's version, which caters more for the ladies, will feature an ombré exterior — so trendy — and maroon sparkles on the interior. Yes, sparkles. Maroon ones.

The goods go on sale on Gilt.com December 12, so if your payment information is saved on the site, might we recommend practicing uber careful clicking in December? Unless, of course, these are the cars for you. Then, by all means.
