What happens when you give a fashion office one of the most expensive and luxurious cars in the world? Here’s a hint: It doesn’t involve a race track. Rather, we put the new Rolls-Royce ‘Dawn’ through a typical week in our lives, from designer interviews and hair-styling sessions to trunk shows and conference calls.
Here are eight things you probably never thought would happen in a Rolls-Royce.
