Q-Why did I go to Paris at early age A- at 17 I worked for my uncles fashion business on fashion avenue he and his then partner owned a fashion showroom for designers from the European markets it was there that I got my real taste of the behind the scenes of the garment business! I was in town to pursue acting and dancing career! Deciding to abandon my studies to pursue my own curriculum was risky but thank God it paid off! I floated from art museums to shows at the Louvre. With just a book of test photos of my styling ideas,I landed an agent who’s philosophy on life changed my perspective on life! Absorbing all of what Europe had to offer enticed and educated my taste sensibilities ! Which ultimately was a great decision!


of all times they continue to inspire me from afar I took all the different women I’ve worked with into consideration when I was devising my own design philosophy. ”

Q-2 Your resume is extensive with magazine work. tell me about the differences in working for publications like Flaunt vs large ones like Vanity Fair. Working for independent boutique publishers has proven to be more rewarding for me because I am able to fully execute my role as a fashion Director I must be able to execute fully the vision of the Photographer as well as my own! Which is most times challenging to say the least! However the exposure level is greater for the work you do with publications like Vanity Fair ect. I did the first cover of Drew Barrymore with photographer Warwick Saint and we did many many other covers and lead stories pushing celebrity editorial to a new limit I saw for my own eyes the impact of our work change the game literally it signifies the shift from only supermodels and the occasional celebrity cover to every mag becoming celebrity covers almost always! Working with great makeup artist like Kevyn Aucoin the flaunt covers and their exceptional art direction led the way to the celebrity crazed world we live in today! Slowly I watched all of the other stylist in NYC who thought the work I did dressing Alist celebrities was a joke start to follow suit as I was already cemented and had learned about all women’s bodies! Which is why my work on red carpet has been extremely successful! Knowledge of fit very important. Is working in print advertising much different than magazine editorial? Yes it’s a very different yet exciting process as it requires same level of creativity to be able to bang out your work and precisely hit the storyboard mark as well as achieve Artistic and creative satisfaction is the mark of a professional ! tell me about your collection. I’m enjoying the total creative visionary role one takes on as designer, my designs are a mix of all the ideas and ways that I have interpreted fashion for over two decades a combination of empowerment in a garment it’s freedom from restricted clothing and flow of life my garments flow and work on many shapes and sizes! I am launching soon, a less expensive line.

i can imagine there are many.. but who are your muses in the industry. who inspires you? I’ve worked with some of the greatest beauties of all times they continue to inspire me from afar I took all the different women I’ve worked with into consideration when I was devising my own design philosophy. Juliann Moore, Iman, Cate Blanchet Nathalie Portman so many to name but having worked intimately with so many men and women you take a bit of inspiration from all to encompass all! tell me about your weight loss journey. Wow is all I can say I woke up to having gained excessive amount of weight and had health issues I have maintained a perfect blood pressure since shedding a unprecedented 125 lbs in ten months time using the diet plan for duke university’s diet center no pills no surgeries diet and exercise, best thing I’ve done for myself and others to show you can do it and after that incredible transformation I knew design was in my future I’ve completed wardrobe for several film projects and many others in near future. whats in the future for Kithe Brewster? Writing a passion that I shared with my belated partner RyanSinglton Brewster we wrote several things and I plan to publish books on and about the wonderful life I’ve lead! And I’ve just become fashion Director of a American publication called New You! Fans of my styling work will follow this innovative journal! And to hopefully lead a peaceful and continuous creative existence! when and where can your collection be purchased? It can be purchased only in New York thru my atelier inquiries to info@kithebrewstercollection.com we create custom made to order. My designs and I have worked with all sizes and I love it I have a great clientele of women from around the globe they get a one on one consultation from me it’s proven to be quiet successful!

by, Mihaela Nicoleta Micula

hich is your story about fashion?

Vera is a simple girl, born and brought up in in the Rift Valley, region of Kenya, precisely Kericho, in a very, very humble background, ordinarily schooled. I started modeling in 2004 where I was a Miss World Kenya finalist, Miss Malaika finalist and Miss Lake Festival of Arts (Queen). And since then, I developed a unique need to express myself and things around me, using the knowledge and artistic talent I had. I used to design my own outfits for pageants and normal occasions. Most people asked me where I did my clothes and I replied: “I did!” So they would buy fabrics and asked me to design something or similar to mine. It was fun and a source of income as well since I had cleared high school and didn’t

have a job...I love arts. Since childhood, I love fashion. Fashion is part of me. Fashion is art. Fashion is freedom. I use fashion to portray the rich and diversified culture. But as you know, runways and modeling have a short shelf life. At some age in life, you don’t find yourself fitting on runways. So I started VFH (Vee Fashion House Malindi). Vee Fashion House is locally based firm situated in Malindi, along the Kenyan Coast...It has a local touch with an International outlook in the fashion industry. Since its inception, VFH has gained a reputation for high fashion design. It was punctuated with innovative debut of an updated ballet flat that is resonating today. It is dedicated to redefining the quality parameters in the capacity of the society and individuals, to appreciate and keep in touch with the dynamism of the fashion trends. Alsoa to initiate a promising platform for the fashion industry on the coast and East Africa. VFH offers a wide range of mix edition items, niche fashions, unique accessories and handmade jewelry, handbags and sandals. Outfits for women with sophisticated fashion sense and each collection offers different image, in order to accommodate all types of personal style. VFH designs are functional obtainable and within reach one of a kind from original African designs, for instance kangas


as materials batik, Maasai fabrics animals prints and beadwork. You are a Child of the Sun. Your fashion art was influenced by the fauna and flora from your country, Kenya? My source of inspiration comes from nature, natural instincts and my surroundings from the dynamic and versatile African beautiful heritage. In Kenya is globally recognized through our Maasai culture like the rainbow full of colors from beads to prints. So yes, my fashion art is inspired by my culture. I appreciate creativity and quality. I find styles for both work and pleasure. 3. In your vision, the new African identity has also the fingerprint of the culture and tradition of your people. The new or modern African has the fingerprints of the culture and traditions…like the animal prints which represents the animals in the wild found in the 7th wonder of the world (the Masai Mara). 4. Please tell us about the beauty contests. I have participated in quite a number of peagents: 2004, Miss World Kenya finalist; in 2005, Miss Malaika finalist; 2006, Miss Lake Festival of Arts where I was crowned first queen-and local peagents like Miss Mombasa 2007. 5. Are you a model? Yes, I am a part time model. Although it doesn’t pay much in Kenya, I do it for fun. Which was your contribution at the “Miss Africa USA” contest in 2010 and 2011? It was a great honor to be chosen to represent Kenya as a fashion designer. I created these dresses for some of the contestants of Miss Africa USA in 2010 who represented diferent African countristogo, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Kenya. The fabrics I mostly used were chiffon, silk, satin and Masai shuka fabrics and one dress using vliscos fabric which is a kitenge. These are fabrics I love to play around with. As for the accessorries, its lots of beadwork. I love to work with beads. Especially the Masai inspired beads which are very colorful

collection 2013. No, I couldn’t make it as I was engaged elswhere. But I will be shocashing a new collection at the sister show called “Kilimanjaro Fashion Week” in Arusha, May 2014. Regarding the collection I am still working on, called the Matarta collection…There is a story behind this collection which I will keep you updated during The Kilimanjaro Fashion Week. \What kind of materials do you prefer to use for your creations? I love to play around with fabric mix them gather them. But my favorite is kitenge, Masai shukas, chiffon, silk, cotton, animal prints so long as its colorful and bright. Exotic as your dresses, your accessories are in the bright colours of the rainbow. They are made by a local jewels designer? No, I do my own jewelery as well with the help of my assistant who is comes from the Maasai tribe and knows her way around beads,she taught me some of the beading skills. I like to collect different types of beads from different cultures, including western. Then, I mix them up to give them an African look with an International outlook. Which are your recommendations for the spring 2014? Africa, Kenyan Coast, beautiful sceneries, nature, culture… It’s a scene most New Yorkers and the Americans would marvel at. Unlike the western or American trends inspired by celebrities that Americans wear, on the fashion campaign trail, this collection is not only memorable for the diverse culture, but for the striking colors, color clashing fabrics on display. Mixing up of fabrics, batik, kitenge, kikoy head wraps patchwork, beaded accessories. All this with a modern touch, the result is Afro Fabulous: The African Rainbow Collection.

Postojna

CAVE

by Mihaela Nicoleta Micula

Katja Dolenc Batagelj: Executive Manager for Marketing, Postojna Cave, Slovenia Postojna Cave is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world’s largest karst monuments. 21 km of passages, galleries and magnificent halls offer a unique experience of the underground world. The Postojna cave is definitely one of the most diverse cave systems in the world. The entrance portions of the cave must have seen their first visitors in the 13th century, but the largest part of its interior was discovered on 14 April 1818 by the local cave lamplighter Luka Čeč. During preparations for the Austrian emperor’s visit, he wandered off from the group of workers in charge of the ceremonial decoration and illumination of the front part of the cave with the Great Hall. Climbing a wall, he found a so far unknown passage. When he returned, he cried out to his friends: “There’s a new world here, a paradise!” In 1819 Archduke Ferdinand I visited the cave and became the first official visitor. This gave rise to the tourism in Postojna and this date is considered the official start of modern cave tourism although signatures dated from the 13th century can be found in the cave. For 140 years, the Postojna Cave, as the only cave in the world, offers a unique and adventurous ride with a special train, which will take you into the cave, under spectacular underground arches, which are embellished with chandellier look-alike stalactites, through a beautiful subterranean world full of playful limestone sculptures. A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls, the astonishing diversity of Karst features as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for such popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors, which has already reached 35 million in 200 years. Electric lighting, the first in the province of Carniola, was temporarily arranged in 1883 during a visit from Emperor Franz Joseph. Three electric lights lit up the Great Hall. The next year, Postojna Cave became the third cave in the world to have permanent electric lighting (a year earlier

MAMi Magazine 68

electric lighting was set up in the Kraushöhle cave in Austrian Styria and even earlier, in 1881, in Luray Caverns, USA). The cave was illuminated by 12 arc lamps, each with the power of 1400 candles. Electricity was supplied by two generators powered by a steam engine. The electric installation system was modernised in 1901. A new engine house supplied power to the cave as well as the whole town of Postojna. Today, classic bulbs have been mostly replaced by halogen bulbs. An electronic system makes sure only certain cave sections are lit up at one time and the power lines are, like most lights in the cave, discretely covered. The tour of the cave, which lasts approximately 90 minutes, will take you on a 5 km long journey through amazing passages and incredibly diverse cave ‘landscape’. The visitors can see one part of a scenic underground maze from the train, and then enjoy the second part on foot and admire playful stalactite forms in no hurry. The most beautiful stalagmite in the Postojna cave is called the Brilliant. Looking at this marvellous, shiny white limestone formation, you simply must agree it is fully worthy of its name. Owing to its early discoveries, Postojna is regarded as the cradle of the scientific discipline of speleobiology, which sets it apart as an undisputed world centre. The unusual looks of the olm have always sparked peoples imagination. At first it was believed that they were just baby dragons which the high tide brought to the surface. As a matter of fact, there might be some truth to these old beliefs. Apart from the olm, there are many other animal species living in the Postojna cave. 99 species are permanent residents of the cave, but occasionally the number of species rises up to 150.

On May 5th 1897 King Karol I of Romania and Queen Elisabeth of Romania visited Postojna Cave.

the fascinating world of Postojna Caves was connected with the world of fashion thanks to the noble blood ladies who passed there. Each one of them gave a unique sense to the words: style, elegance, beauty and grace. Princess Amrit Kaur In mid-October 1933, the cave was admired by Princess Rajkumari Amrit Kaur (1889-1964) from Kapurthala State in the north of India. Renowned for her beauty, the princess Amrit Kaur was painted by an Italian artist. She was also an important figure in the Indian history. For 16 years, she was of Ghandi’s secretary. The princess and its 6-meter long silk saree with a golden trimming attracted the attention of all people. While she could not stop marvelling over the beauty of the cave, she described it as one of the wonders of the world. On March 11th 1857 Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth visited Postojna Cave with a large retinue. It is said that for this visit the cave was illuminated by 16000 lights. The entire pathway had been restored and covered with white sand. Three sedan chairs had been made in prepration for this visit, so that the Empress and her ladies-in-waiting could be carried if they wished. The one for the Empress was covered in velvet, but she prefered to walk most of the way. aliu On May 5th 1897 King Karol I of Romania and Queen Elisabeth of Romania visited Postojna Cave. After enjoyed their visit to the cave they signed the Gedenk-Buch. In her entry in the book the Queen wrote »Unter der Erde hat Märchen noch ein Reich« (Fairy tales are still real – underground).

P

rincess Akishino of Japan Their Imperial Highnesses, the Prince and the Princess Akishino of Japan visited Postojna Cave. They were very impressed by the beauty and magnificence of the underworld. They admired the infinite nature work and they wondered how long did it take for tiny water droplets to build such a scenery. When walking through the cave Her Imperial Highness the Princess Akishino admired the limestone sculptures and tried to imagine what they represent. Thanks to her imagination the princess Akishino, to the great surprise of the hosts, said that the beautiful limestone formation behind the Brilliant (symbol of Postojna Caves) looked like a pipe organ. And in fact, the sculpture is named A Pipe Organ. The hosts were touched by such extreme sensitivity of the Princess Akishino. The Prince and the Princess Akishino visited also the Proteus Cave with Vivarium where among many cave-dwelling animals they could see also the famous Proteus Anguinus, the largest cavernicole. Their Imperial Highnesses were amazed about the life in the eternal darkness. The Prince Akishino, holder of two doctorate degrees in biology, showed great interest in this unique Vivarium with live animals species adapted to the conditions inside the cave to such an extent that they are unable to survive outside of it. The Postojna Cave is the cradle of a special branch of biology – speleobiology. This new science was born in the year 1831 when the Slendernecked Beetle (Leptodirus hochenwarti) was discovered in the Postojna Cave. The Postojna Cave is the largest show cave in Europe and definitely one of the most famous and diverse cave systems in the world. Its 21 km of passages, galleries and magnificent halls offer a unique experience of the underground world. Princess Nori Princess Sayako, in Japan more commonly known as Princess Nori, daughter of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, visited Slovenia as part of her tour of several European countries between 8 and 11 October 2000. In addition to Slovenia’s

MAMi Magazine 70

capital Ljubljana, she also visited the Lipica Stud Farm, Bled and Postojna Cave. What kind of events are usually organized for visitors? The Postojna Cave provides a perfect setting for an unforgettable experience that all the people participating in it are bound to remember for years to come. The available capacities as well as assistance in organizing the event are offered. A lot of experience and knowledge is gained throughout many years of organizing events that attracted a lot of attention. The Postojna Cave Park is a possible venue for music and theatre performances or receptions for large numbers of people. It is often visited by participants of various kinds of meetings and congresses who all agree that this is the icing on the cake of their experience of Slovenia and it beauties. Sometimes these special events or corporate meetings continue with the exploration of less known sections of the cave through various kinds of cave adventures. A large number of very special events have taken place in Postojna Cave in the past – numerous esteemed guests from all over the world have been hosted and all sorts of events have taken place or been held there: exhibitions, performances, installation artworks, concerts and other events, such as the Miss Slovenia for Miss World 2011 beauty contest and the Eurobasket 2013 draw. And last but not least, a living nativity scene, which is seen by several thousand visitors every year, has been staged in the subterranean halls of Postojna Cave every year during Christmas time for a quarter of a century. When it comes to wedding receptions or other private celebrations the Postojna Cave Park and the Predjama Castle provide plenty of options for exchanging vows. Inside the green park of the Postojna Cave is where the romantic Modrijan Homestead is located. The architecture and landscaping of this more than 400-year old house is extremely appealing; and you will be escorted into the wedding hall with a glass of champagne. One of undisputed advantages is the close proximity of the


MAMiMagazine outstanding Jamski Dvorec Mansion, located at the entrance into the Postojna Cave where an unforgettable wedding reception can be organized.

On May 5th 1897 King Karol I of Romania and Queen Elisabeth of Romania visited Postojna Cave.

I am European editor of the Mami International Magazine of Fashion&Music Art. But I am also the project manager and editor of the EuroSpeleo Magazine, a publication dedicated to the cavers all over the Europe. This year you organized an unique event in the history of Postojna’s Cave, based on a different view about beauty. Shop windows of the department store Nama in Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana are an excellent spot for promotion of the greatest Slovene tourist attraction. Throughout the project, from the initial idea to the final realization, we pursued a common goal, i.e. to set up a shop window which will make passers-by stop to have a proper look at it and also take photos next to it. We therefore went ahead with project preparations with all the necessary attentiveness and responsibility towards Postojna Cave, a world-renowned natural monument. For this purpose, a large number of visual aids have been taken to Ljubljana, as well as many valuable exhibits, which attest to the 200 years of the history of the cave. In cooperation with the experienced staff of the department store we succeeded in creating a genuine underground atmosphere in the centre of Slovenia’s capital. We believe the shop windows have persuaded many a passer-by to visit the cave. The shop windows are at their most beautiful during the nighttime, when the light brings out the splendours, allure, mightiness and grandeur of stalagmites and stalactites.

MAMiMagazine Please tell us about the collections exposed. It was an European contribution at this exhibition? NAMA is the oldest department store in Ljubljana, situated in the very heart of the capital. Ever since 1946 Nama has been one of the sights of Ljubljana and the old town’s favorite shopping center thanks to its great location and friendly staff. NAMA offers a variety of trendy, sporty and elegant brands, both Slovene and foreign. NAMA hosts the following Slovenian fashion designers: Nives Dančulovič (ND design), Urška and Tomaž Draž (Draž), Nataša Hrupič (Natasa Hrupic), Maja Štamol (Maja Štamol), E2RD and others. Among the brand names for him and her in NAMA you will find Pepe Jeans, Polzela, French Connection, Freesoul, Smash, Street One, Desigual, Skunfunk etc In the man`s department you can try out also Baulmer, Esprit Collection, Guess by Marciano, lloyd, Olimp, Sens and others (mind the character – boxes)!!! Are you open to organize fashion parades in Postojna Cave? The rules of use are very specific and clear in determining what activities and events are allowed or not allowed inside Postojna Cave, and also which a special permit needs to be obtained for. Fashion shows are in principle not to take place in the cave. The key criterion for issuing permits for organization and staging of uncommon events is whether they serve the purposes of informing the general public about the value of nature and whether they aid in providing more in-depth knowledge about the cave, the Karst and cave-dwelling animals. Any event of this kind thus needs to be in connection with the cave as a natural phenomenon or mark a historic event or some sort of a cave jubilee. Understandably, every event has to be held in a way that does not burden the natural environment. Events of this kind otherwise take place at the Jamski Dvorec Mansion, which is located right at the entrance to the cave and has in the past hosted a number of such events.

Her life begins in Denver, Colorado where she born in 1980. At age 3 I lived in Germany where she spent some of her childhood, then to Sacramento, California. Qoute “Sacramento is a very easy and relaxed place; it’s all about individualism there. So I was able to really grow up and be myself without any judgment” While attending high school in the bay area Kushinda began to work at a clothing store. And one time the music group 112 came into the store and she put together looks for a show they were having that night. Quote “At the time I didn’t even realize it, but I was styling and around that same time I realized I wanted to be a designer.” She ended moving

MAMi Magazine 82

to Atlanta in 1998 and began to take private classes with a Russian couturier named Nina Gleyzer. With each class Nina saw that Kushinda had a lot of potential and drive and became Nina’s apprentice. She worked under Nina for 5 years and learned in depth about fabrication, construction, and pattern making. Kushinda moved to Brooklyn, New York.

This was spearheaded once she realized the market for swimwear for the average size women, who are youthful and sophisticated, is underserved. Quote “ My designs not only are innovative including such additions as detachable hoods, reversible limited run of prints and evolving design elements they also appeal to the


MAMiMagazine luxury consumers eye.” The sizes range from 6 to 16 with special edition designs. Geared towards women who have battled breast cancer; another audience that benefits from swimming while going through chemotherapy. Quote “This is a group the swimwear industry does not typically cater to allowing me to create a niche market.” “I love that fashion is ever changing. I love that design is limitless; you just have to conceive the notion. I’m really big on being knowledgeable. I’m happy to say I love what I

do as a job. If you love what you do, you will love yourself more. But the key is acceptance. Be less influenced, be an individual; there will never be a duplicate of you.” Connect with Yummy Honey Swim today!

cGuire Furniture has collaborated with artist Jordan Betten of Lost Art to create a one of a kind works of art. Taking five of McGuire’s most iconic chairs, he re- envisioned them with a rock and roll vibe – as he does for his fashion clients. They will be on display at McGuire San Francisco for the month of February and Baker Knapp & Tubbs’ Los Angeles showroom in March. ince 1948, McGuire has been internationally known for creating timeless furniture of natural materials. Each piece of furniture is crafted by trained artisans who bend, weave and form every chair, table or accessory by hand. Says McGuire President Kendra Reichenau, “Jordan’s work is incredibly creative, and he has envisioned some of our classic chairs in an entirely new way. He uses only the finest materials and fine tuned hand-craftsmanship – two qualities we very much admire.” ordan Betten is a New York City based artist and the founder of Lost Art. Lost Art, a luxury leather brand, began in 1997 with the creation of a bag called “The Road”. Since the beginning of Lost Art, all pieces have been made entirely by hand, in the tradition of the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail.

“Knowing that McGuire continues to produce handcrafted furniture was the best reason to collaborate. Our company’s aesthetics may be very different, but our shared sensibilities of paying attention to detail and the respect for the materials created an organic connection,” says Betten

The Butterfly Chair, originally designed by Edward Tuttle, has been a McGuire icon for nearly 40 years. Just as much a work of art as it is functional; the Butterfly chair takes on a new personality. Betten imposed his own rock-star interpretation with the use of a cobra skin seat, arms and back laced with leather fringe. As in his figural art, Betten followed the existing curves of the back and arms to create a sense of movement around the frame.

The Target Dining Chair, designed in 1984 by Elinor McGuire has been a best seller for over 30 years. Betten re-interpreted with a brown calfskin hide on the seat and frame. Leather crossstitching adds an additional element of handcraftsmanship, as does the intricately hand-braided leather fringe that hangs dramatically from the back of the frame.

The Laura Kirar Dining Arm Chair, already one of the most dramatic pieces of McGuire’s collection, became even more of a statement in the artistic hands of Betten. Playing off of the pop-art inspired pattern of rattan circles, Betten doubled the affect, tying in additional brass rings in the back and arms of the chair. The python skin wraps the entire frame, as though it were constricting the rattan beneath. Crystals and feathers adorn the newly-fashioned Barbara Barry Script Side Chair. Reminiscent of a dream catcher, Betten uses the negative space within the calligraphic back to incorporate more detail. Hand-tied feathers frame the outside of the chair, adding a note of whimsical charm. Betten’s work often depicts a sense of gathering or connectedness, physically manifested here via tightly woven leather bands that create one large network of details.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe With a starting price of $115,000, it should come as no surprise that the cabin of the M6 Gran Coupe is a nice place to spend time. Our tester was outfitted with the $3,500 Merino leather option, which wraps the dash in the same sumptuous hides that cover the M sport seats. The headliner is a mix of leather and Alcantara suede, with a thick strip of hide bisecting the roof of the M6 Gran Coupe. It’s a simple touch, but the coachbuilt feel is the kind of thing that adds specialness to a car. Carbon fiber replaces wood, and is essentially everywhere that isn’t covered in cow. The M treatment only improves the Gran Coupe’s looks. Being a BMW M car, the cabin shouldn’t just be a great thing to look at, it should be an excellent driving environment, as well. While the M6 Gran Coupe is no exception to this rule, it doesn’t pass with flying colors. The low, coupe-like roofline makes this car genuinely difficult to get in and out of. Even with the driver’s seat at its lowest level, I bumped my head occasionally, while lady passengers in dresses were warned beforehand to be conscious getting out of the orange M, lest they pull a Britney. Once hunkered into the low, snug cabin, though, things come together well.

If the last M car you drove was the outgoing M3, this steering wheel’s large diameter and long, thin spokes will seem a world apart from that sled’s tiller. It feels fine to the touch, while placement of the right-sized paddles makes working the dualclutch transmission a literal and figurative snap (really, tugging a paddle elicits a lovely, mechanical click). The seats are snug, and offer the generous range of adjustments expected at this price point. Sight lines were an issue in the M6, though, as the small rear window of the Gran Coupe body and that long hood force drivers to rely on the car’s three cameras and fore- and aft-mounted parking sensors. It’s a rather large car, and unless you want to go all Batman Begins and adjust your seat for different driving situations, it’s tough to maneuver in tight confines. 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe The beating heart of this adventurous coupe-like sedan is BMW’s 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8. This is an engine that’s grown on us, despite lacking the charisma of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 from Mercedes-Benz (more on that in a minute). The 4.4 comes to the party with 552 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, all of which is available from 1,500 to 5,750 rpm. With that kind of thrust, it’s only natural that a quick-shifting, dual-clutch transmission with seven gears dispatches power to the M6 Gran Coupe’s rear tires. When used to full effect, the M6 GC can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a manufacturer-estimated 4.1 seconds (it feels quite a bit quicker than that), and on to a limited top speed of 155 mph.

the 6 Series Gran Coupe is the best-looking vehicle to wear the BMW roundel since some stylistic genius decided to slap a pair of Angel Eyes on a titanium grey, E39 5 Series (though you’re obviously welcome to argue the point). The M treatment only improves the Gran Coupe’s looks, with massive, gaping front air intakes forming a menacing smile. Even in Sakhir Orange, which is far from the most flattering color on the palette, this is a car with presence. The meaty wheel arches up front and wide haunches of the back add to this aggressive look, while traditional M cues, like the carbon-fiber roof, quad-tipped exhausts and not-so-subtle side grilles further differentiate the M6 from lesser Gran Coupes.
