Anna is thrilled to have joined up with Bentley’s Extraordinary Women to design a one-of-a-kind Continental GTC, commissioned to honour female empowerment and collaboration. Alongside world-renowned virtuoso cellist and composer Tina Guo, and Sister Bliss of legendary dance music group Faithless, the goal is to create a car that embodies creativity, craftsmanship, and inclusivity.
This special commission is part of Bentley’s Extraordinary Women programme, an initiative dedicated to championing gender equality, fostering inclusion, and empowering women globally. The unique Continental GTC, tailored through Bentley’s Mulliner division, represents the artistic and personal influences of each musician, blending bespoke design elements that reflect their personal journeys and shared vision. Bentley’s Mulliner design team played a pivotal role in bringing the vision to life, with two leading female designers at the forefront of the project. These industry leading experts ensured every detail of the Continental GTC reflected the essence of the musicians’ artistry. Their expertise in bespoke luxury design continues to set new standards in automotive personalisation, reaffirming Bentley’s dedication to fostering talent across industries, including the arts, automotive, and beyond. The result of this extraordinary collaboration will be revealed in Q4, after the car has been handcrafted by the craftspeople and artisans at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England.
Alongside this design project, Bentley hosted the next session of its ‘Extraordinary Talks’ series for its colleagues, where Anna, Tina and Sister Bliss shared inspiring discussions on creativity, leadership, collaboration and driving change in male-dominated industries to an audience of over 100 colleagues. The talk encouraged colleagues to embrace innovation and support a more inclusive future.
