Bijan Pakzad Designs 30 Limited Edition Rolls-Royce for The World’s Most Powerful
A Rolls-Royce, boasting a 453 horsepower engine, is said to rival a small circraft in its sheer power. While the price tag of an average Rolls-Royce exceeds $400,000, recently the company has teamed up with world-class Beverly-Hills-based designer Bijan Pakzad to custom-design 30 Limited-Edition models costing more than $1 Million each. Reflecting Bijan’s taste and creativity, these luxury motor vehicles will be custom designed for the world’s most powerful people from 20 different countries.
Bijan Pakzad (generally known simply as Bijan) is a well-known Iranian American designer of menswear and fragrances. Born 1944 in Tehran, Iran, Bijan immigrated to the United States in 1973. His exclusive boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills was established in 1976 and can be visited by "appointment only". It has been described as "the most expensive store in the world". Bijan is known not only for his business relationships with the world's most famous and influential people (Michael Jordan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, ...) but also for his exquisite car collection, including a Yellow Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe which he parks outside his Rodeo Drive Boutique.
Last week also Samuel Hoi, president of the reputable Otis College of Art and Design, announced that Bijan will receive the 2010 Otis Design Legend Award. The details of the Awards Ceremony held May 8, 2010 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the Scholarship Benefit and Fashion Show can be found in our Events Section.
