Citroen DS3 Ines De La Fressange Paris Concept in detail

On the outside, you can immediately tell the difference in appearance between the DS3 and the DS3 Cabrio. The former comes with an Ink Blue satin finish that blends well with a glossy-black Onyx Black roof. Meanwhile, the latter comes with inverted colors, featuring a glossy Perla Nera Black finish and a matte Infinite Blue roof with an Infinite Blue soft top.

The DS3 and DS3 Cabrio both feature a set of 17-inch Aphrodite diamond-cut wheels coated in a blue hue. It's not your usual look, but it somehow works on the two DS3 models.

There are some similarities between the two Ines de la Fressange Paris-designed models. For example, the exclusive Ines Red mirror housings that create a small yet effective contrast with the two-tone exterior colors of the DS3 and DS3 Cabrio. The Ines Red color also makes an appearance on the wheel hubs and the DS logo surround.

Look a little closer at the back of the concepts and you’ll see a personalized “Aéropostale” adhesive signature that uses the red, white, and blue colors of the French flag. There is also an enamel-effect emblem carrying the words “Ines de la Fressange Paris” on the central pillar.

Okay, there aren’t any photos of the interior yet, but Citroen did announce that the two concepts will share the same cabin design. The most noticeable of these exclusive designs is the use of the same red, white, and blue colors to carefully layout the concept’s interior. The seats also received personalized upgrades in the form of a Granite Blue grained leather upholstery matched with white top-stitching. The “Aéropostale" signature on the body is also part of the seat design, readily identified on the headrests of these seats.

Even the dashboard of the two concepts weren’t spared from Ines de la Fressange Paris’ sense of stylish sophistication. The Ines Red shade used on the mirror casings and wheel hubs on the body can found a home on the dashboard with the "Aéropostale" signature making one final appearance on the car's protective mats.
