BMW x PUMA's Stunning New Collection Channels the Spirit of a Legendary Art Car
BMW Motorsport has joined forces with PUMA to unveil an extraordinary summer collection that oozes inspiration from the iconic 1975 BMW Art Car crafted by the acclaimed American modernist Alexander Calder. Calder's groundbreaking BMW 3.0 CSL, which raced at the Le Mans 24-hour event under car number 93, has not only inspired millions but now forms the bedrock of a unique Capsule Collection that promises to leave art and automotive enthusiasts in awe.
Renowned for his use of vibrant colors and sweeping, dramatic surfaces, Calder's artistic approach has been faithfully replicated in the new BMW Art Car Capsule Collection. This illustrious collaboration between BMW M Motorsport and PUMA builds upon their previous successful line which paid homage to pop art icon Roy Lichtenstein. Each article in this summer ensemble is meticulously crafted, echoing the same bold, expressive color combinations that Calder's BMW 3.0 CSL is famous for.
The Capsule Collection offers a complete summer wardrobe that covers a shirt, shorts, two T-shirts, a cap, and a pair of sneakers. Striking a balance between athleticism and casual chic, each piece is available individually, allowing enthusiasts to curate their own perfect Calder-inspired ensemble.
