Speaking about her work on the FEEL XE campaign, Stella McCartney commented, "Jaguar is a British brand that's full of heritage, charm and one that I've admired for years so it's a pleasure to be finally working directly with them. It was interesting to adapt my playful Superhero print for the XE, adding a feeling of empowerment to its exhilarating design - I can't wait to see it on the streets of Paris."
The FEEL XE Experience marks the next phase in the XE reveal, where Jaguar will announce full details of the entire XE range at the Paris Motor Show. Together, the two prestigious British luxury brands have created the FEEL XE Experience; featuring a fleet of luxury Stella McCartney inspired Jaguar vehicles draped in her distinctive Superhero print from her Spring 2015 collection. These vehicles took to the streets of Paris on Monday to deliver a series of FEEL XE Experiences that have been carefully curated by Stella and Jaguar to provide consumers with an exhilarating taste of cultural highlights that are unique to Paris.
Two years after graduating from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, London, Stella moved to Paris and four years later she launched the first collection of Stella McCartney fashion house in Paris. The French capital remains close to her heart and it is still the city where Stella shows her new ready-to-wear collections every season. It is fitting that the streets of Paris will be the only city in the world to have the Jaguar Superheroes on its streets.
Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar, spoke about his admiration for Stella McCartney's work and their shared passion for British design and innovation, "I've always greatly admired Stella's work and enjoyed her previous collaborative projects, especially the performance apparel for the GB Olympic Team. It is a beautiful demonstration of Stella's commitment to elegance, style as well as functionality and, performance which are attributes that I looked to express in the Jaguar XE."
The FEEL XE Experience marks the continuation of Stella's involvement in Jaguar's FEEL XE campaign. Stella attended the Jaguar XE global premiere at Earls Court in London on September 8, and she also chose to arrive in the most fuel-efficient Jaguar to date at The 2014 Stella McCartney Green Carpet Collection last month.
Following the FEEL XE Experience in Paris, Jaguar will announce details of its next FEEL XE project with British actor Idris Elba in the coming months. Stay connected to Tom Wood Jaguar Indianapolis for all the details!
