Anouk Wipprecht signs a new prosthesis for Viktoria Modesta

Viktoria Modesta for Rolls-Royce Black Badge campaign

The bionic artist has once again partnered with Anouk Wipprecht for a Rolls-Royce car advertising campaign. The fashion tech designer had already created the prosthesis of Viktoria Modesta’s Crazy Horse show, in Paris, last June.

To imprison in a leg prosthesis electric arches generated by a Tesla coil ... someone just had to think of it. Anouk Wipprecht did it and not on any prosthesis, that of Viktoria Modesta, bionic pop artist, single-leg amputee, famous for her performances, all over the world. Pressure activated, the Tesla coil, concealed in the heel, causes luminous effects, revealed in the glass part of the carbon fiber artificial limb. The corset of Viktoria Modesta is tailor-made. Her exact measurements were taken by a high-definition digital scanner, before making the structure of the garment by 3D printing, and then cover it with carbon fiber.

This fashion tech collaboration was initiated for an advertising campaign of Rolls-Royce Black Badge car model. Check out the video below.
