At first glance, a collaboration between scooter manufacturer Vespa and the famed Parisian fashion house Christian Dior might seem incongruous. The Vespa 946 Christian Dior Edition represents just such an unlikely collaboration—and this spectacular, limited-production scooter has quickly become one of the most coveted of modern Vespas. Vespa and Christian Dior were both founded in 1946, and in the decades that followed, each built an enduring, worldwide reputation for leadership and quality in their respective fields. Created with input from Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Dior women’s collections, this special-edition Vespa honours the heritage and legacy of both brands with a simple, elegant black-and-white livery complemented by gold accents. A removable top case and helmet finished with the classic Dior “Oblique” motif complete the visual package.
