Fiat 500 Couture Special Editions Get Stylish for Paris Fashion Week
The Paris Motor Show isn’t the only event going on this week in the French city.
Fiat has unveiled a trio of special edition 500 compacts at the MotorVillage Rond-Point des Champs Elysées to celebrate Paris Fashion Week, dubbed the Fiat 500 Couture line. The star of the unveiling was the 500 Ron Arad Edition (seen above), which is a collaboration with the famous Israeli designer and pays homage to the 1957 Fiat 500 classic. Enhancing the vintage soul of the Fiat 500 Ron Arad Edition is the silhouette of the classic 500 model drawn on the bodywork and it will go on sale at major European markets starting November.

The other two special 500s that were unveiled were the 500 Comics and 500 Camouflage that were both “inspired by the world of fashion and created to enhance the pop and trendy nature in the 500’s DNA,” said Fiat in a press release.
The Fiat 500 Comics features a two-tone livery that gives a “stitching” impression, tracing out the 500’s bodylines. The 500 Camouflage plays on the popular grey/green camouflage pattern and has been further accented with fluorescent yellow mirror covers.
