The Corsa was wrapped in white vinyl while Kate painted directly onto it with acrylic paint and Posca semi permanent markers. The colours were chosen because of the rainbow spectrums and light fields used in SciFi imagery, a key influence in the “Vauxhall Skate set design. Cutting-edge British designer Kate was rated number 18 in last years NMEs Future 50 issue and her work to date includes an exclusive Kate Moross for Topshop clothing range, a national billboard campaign for Cadburys and this summer she was asked to create her very own field at Glastonbury. This is the first car commission Kate has undertaken. “Vauxhall Skate extends Vauxhalls commitment to driving excitement on four wheels.
