I don’t think I’m tip-toeing out on much of limb here in assuming that if you’re reading this, you’re probably not in the market for a Bentley.
But it is a safe assumption to think that we’d all like to drive or own one of those finely-crafted Bentleys at some point. (If you disagree, you are lying directly through your teeth.) They look awesome. They drive awesome. They make you think of Charles Dickens. Even if you hated English class (or the English now), there’s something to the cars. Is it all about to change, though?
Bentley just hired a new head of its exterior design, a guy by the name of David Hilton. But David Hilton didn’t study at university in England. Not even close; the man did his undergrad at…the University of Cincinnati (not exactly somewhere you’d associate with “pleasurable exterior aesthetics”). Which makes it all the more surprising when you see how friggin’ slick David Hilton is:
Whoa! A black turtleneck under a charcoal blazer? That’s like, right in the Bentley-exterior wheelhouse.
I joke, but there is something to matching a product’s exterior to the designer’s exterior. Function follows form, perhaps?
Bentley seems to have matched its new drape(s) to the carpet.
