Cadillac
is blending fashion and automotive design with the launch of “Style
Driven,” a four-part video vignette offering an exclusive
behind-the-scenes look at the life of fashion stylist Erin Walsh, as she
curates outfits for guests attending the famous Costume Institute
Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Walsh’s keen eye for the beautiful and unique within fashion has
propelled her to be one of the most sought-after stylists, and has
already consulted the likes of Kristen Wiig, Kerry Washington and
Gwyneth Paltrow. This year, Walsh styles actress Greta Gerwig for the
Met Gala.
The video series follows Walsh as she makes her way through New York City in a Cadillac SRX
picking dresses and jewelry for Gerwig. Throughout the series, Walsh
offers insights into her process, the importance of the Met Gala and how
Cadillac helps her make everything possible.
"I have always marveled at the synchronicity of form and function in
creative design,” said Walsh. “To me, something beautiful, especially
when it comes to fashion, should be made with an attention to detail
that reflects this aesthetic. It is not inherent to design but rather
takes a certain attention to detail and one that I do look for in
architecture, theater, art, cinema and especially in brands that are
capable of consistently guarding the marriage of art and commerce.
Cadillac is so clearly an example of this, historically and today."
The annual Costume Institute Benefit features a who’s who in fashion
and culture with celebrity attendees from film, music and fashion. In
addition to the video series, Cadillac will provide VIP valet service to
a select group of celebrities attending the event.
“Fashion and design are territories that easily mesh with Cadillac’s
Art and Science philosophy,” said Melody Lee, director of brand and
reputation strategy. “Working with the team on the Vogue.TV video series
to showcase Erin’s unique approach in creating beautiful style
ensembles is quite similar to the meticulous craftsmanship that goes
into the design of Cadillac vehicles like the SRX.”

Malibu offers passive entry technology on all four door
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu sedan
equipped with four-door passive entry makes life a little easier for
those frantically searching for keys in the bottom of a deep purse or
fumbling to find them when carrying a child or bags of groceries.
Chevrolet placed small buttons on all four doors allowing the driver
to unlock the door with one press and all four doors and the trunk with
two presses.
An option on the Malibu LTZ, four-door passive entry is a common
feature on luxury vehicles, but scarce on cars in the midsize segment.
Using Malibu’s closed-loop wireless communication system, the car
verifies that the proper key fob is within acceptable range – about
three feet – and allows the driver to unlock the vehicle. Each key fob
is uniquely mated to its vehicle, so there is practically no chance of
false unlocks.
“Available passive entry on all of the doors was a feature we wanted
to offer our Malibu customers,” said Phil Carlisle, Chevrolet Malibu
product manager. “It’s small things like this that can go a long way in
making everyday use of your vehicle easier.”
Pressing a button on the door handle – as opposed to automatically
unlocking the door upon approaching the car – offered better
functionality, according to General Motors’ engineers. “This system truly keeps the driver in full control of the car,” said
Ron Asmar, lead engineer for vehicle access. “We investigated fully
passive systems where the key fob would automatically unlock the door
when a person was within a certain distance, and decided against it. We
wanted to make sure that the system prevented the car from unlocking
just because the person and fob were close to it, such as when walking
through the garage to take the garbage out.”
The 2013 Malibu is Chevrolet’s first global midsize sedan and is sold
in nearly 100 countries on six continents. It is the first 2013 midsize
car to earn a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from NHTSA and a 2012 Top
Safety Pick by the IIHS.
In North America, the Malibu has three powertrains, including the Malibu Eco, which uses fuel-saving eAssist™
technology to enable EPA-estimated fuel economy of 25 city / 37
highway. Malibu also offers a fuel-efficient and powerful Ecotec 2.5L
four-cylinder engine and an Ecotec 2.0L turbo that makes 259 horsepower
and 260 lb-ft of torque.
