IL Insider: Ford GT Chief Designer Branches Out Into Bridal Gowns, Swimwear
Date posted: 05-26-2006
DEARBORN, Mich. — Camilo Pardo, the chief designer of the Ford GT, has been spending his spare time creating such unusual fashions as a micro-miniskirt and top made of aluminum discs provided by automotive supplier Northern Engraving and Machine.
Pardo told Inside Line, that he has unveiled a Mercury-branded clothing collection, including one piece inspired by a silver racing suit — but with a skirt instead of legs.
Pardo, 43, has also created a disposable wedding gown and a bikini made out of three Crown Royal whiskey bags. The Colombian-born designer owns several Singer sewing machines and makes his own clothing patterns. In his day job, he is working on Ford vehicles that will hit showrooms in 2012.
"If I go for a certain look, I will purchase a pattern and modify it from there or put tape lines on a female model — a real person — the way I put tape lines on a car," he explained. "I can make the patterns of an outfit. But the real person works better, because you design it right to her surfaces. The Mercury fashions are my patterns completely."
What this means to you: A bikini with a racing stripe? Not too much of a stretch for this designer. Imagine what kind of women's wear Harley Earl would have designed if he had tried this sideline
