ROLLS-ROYCE CELEBRATES TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE WITH GHOST
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, NA celebrates Black Badge Ghost Ekleipsis with the total solar eclipse as backdrop
Black Badge Ghost Ekleipsis created by the Bespoke Design team in Goodwood, England was inspired by the dramatic spectacle and mystery of a total solar eclipse
The stunning animated Starlight Headliner adds a true sense of theatre and wonder as one observes the spellbinding solar phenomenon
The total solar eclipse passed over the Niagara on the Lake region from 3:22 pm to 3:28 pm on Monday April 8, 2024 an event that will not occur for another 24 years
Rolls-Royce Spectre, the newest member of the family joined the event
“The creative concept for Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis is drawn from the impressive natural show of a total solar eclipse; a unique occasion in nature, which underpins the rarity and visual impact of a Rolls-Royce Private Collection. Our Bespoke Collective of designers, engineers and craftspeople in Goodwood have captured the magic of this celestial alignment in a truly stunning Rolls-Royce interpretation. Our event at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, celebrates this magnificent phenomenon.”
Martin Fritsches, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, NA
A total solar eclipse is a truly rare occurrence. From 2011 to 2050, only six dates will see such an event. Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective captured the fascinating nature of this phenomenon in the Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis Private Collection incorporating stunning Bespoke features inspired by a total solar eclipse. Only five Ékleipsis commissions have been delivered to clients in North America.
Today, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars celebrated the event, showcasing Ghost and Spectre at an exclusive total eclipse showing in Niagara on the Lake Ontario Canada.
For nearly four minutes, the majesty of the natural phenomena stood as the backdrop for the beautiful vehicles. For As the marque’s Super Coupé and first all-electric offering, Spectre presented yet another stunning backdrop to the eclipse.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presented the Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis Private Collection inspired by this seldom-seen wonder of a solar eclipse. Harnessing the incredible forces of this celestial phenomenon, these exquisite commissions explore the captivating interplay of light and darkness, recreating the awe-inspiring moment when the Moon completely obscures the Sun.
EXTERIOR: GOLDEN DARKNESS
The mysterious, ethereal light cast by a total solar eclipse is captured in the Lyrical Copper exterior color of the motor car. This stunning bespoke finish incorporates powdered copper pigment, which appears darker until it catches the light when it produces a rich and dramatic iridescence. Mandarin adorns the inserts below the Pantheon Grille and brake calipers, recalling the intense pulses of sunlight witnessed as the eclipse progresses. The same Mandarin hue is used for the hand-painted coachline, which includes a delicate abstract representation of the transition from sunlight to darkness as the Moon approaches to cover the Sun.
ANIMATED STARLIGHT HEADLINER
The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis features a fully Bespoke Starlight Headliner with a special animation that, like the eclipse that inspires it, gives those inside a true sense of awe and wonder. As the coach doors close and the engine is started, the ‘stars’ in the Starlight Headliner darken and a mesmerising sequence begins, replicating the totality of the solar eclipse, when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the bright light of the Sun.
ILLUMINATED FASCIA AND ‘DIAMOND RING’ TIMEPIECE
The illuminated fascia of Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis is adorned with 1,846 laser-etched ‘stars’ in a symbolic timeline of a total eclipse. A single Bespoke designer had sole responsibility for adjusting the individual size and position of each ‘star’ to create the mesmeric effect; a delicate and exacting process that took over 100 hours to complete.
The composition culminates in a Bespoke timepiece, which incorporates a brilliant-cut 0.5-carat diamond, recalling the ‘Diamond Ring’ effect, when a single, dazzling point of light can be seen on the Moon’s outline in the split seconds just before and immediately after it obscures the Sun.

Perhaps better known for its quaint, historic old town and its charming character, Zurich is also a vibrant, 21st-century global city, home to some of the most dynamic art, culture, design, nightlife and gastronomy in Europe. New urban developments continue to pop up across Zurich’s outlying neighborhoods, attracting the likes of young entrepreneurs and artists across the city, such as in the trendy Altstetten district in the west of Zurich.
The former workshops of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in the Altstetten district are currently being transformed into Werkstadt Zürich (“Werkstatt” translates to “Garage” and “Stadt” translates to “City”), a multi-use space that features housing, commercial spaces, art studios, workshops, pop-ups, restaurants, coffee shops and cultural venues, as well as offices for start-ups, tech companies and more. With the goal of becoming a mini Silicon Valley of sorts, this new destination is attracting young entrepreneurs and trendy new shops, many of which have already opened their doors. The project is set to be fully completed by 2025, but many companies are already calling Werkstadt Zürich home.
Companies and entrepreneurs that can be found at Werkstadt Zürich include ViCafe Espresso Roastery, Zurich Beer Factory, Greek-Mediterranean restaurant Nüni, ZURIGA espresso machine manufacturers and Soeder beauty products. ZURIGA has been developing and producing high-quality espresso machines in Zurich since 2016. A non-profit company, ZURIGA designs, develops, manufactures, imports, and sells their own espresso machines, in addition to running their own stores. Soeder, a family business founded in Zurich in 2013, produces natural beauty products in a variety of scents and products, including soap, face cream, deodorant, and shampoo. Their main focus is on sustainability and using only all-natural ingredients, such as wheat protein and Swiss honey.
Beyond Werkstadt, the Altstetten district is a destination in and of itself for its thrift shops and unique finds for any traveler. In the summertime, visitors can explore the nearby island, Werdinsel on the River Limmat, where locals love to take a refreshing jump into crystal clear water at the end of the day.

The 2024 San Luis Obispo International Film Festival (SLOIFF) has announced that actress/director Heather Graham is this year’s King Vidor Award for Excellence in Filmmaking honoree. Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, the festival takes place in the beautiful Central Coast city of San Luis Obispo, situated halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, from April 25 through April 30.
Graham will receive the King Vidor Award at an official ceremony on Saturday, April 27, at the Hotel San Luis Obispo. A noon reception starts the festivities, followed by a “Conversation with Heather Graham.” A screening of her film, Chosen Family, which she wrote, directed and stars in, is scheduled for 5pm at the historic Fremont Theatre.
In Chosen Family, Ann (Heather Graham), a yoga teacher, struggles with her chaotic family and dismal dating life while battling her inability to say no and fix everyone’s problems. Struggling to repair her estranged relationship with her sister Clio (Julia Stiles) Ann relies on her friends Roz (Andrea Savage), Max (Thomas Lennon) and Frances (Odessa Rae) to be her rock and guide her through life’s troubling decisions.
Heather Graham discovered her passion for acting at an early age and caught the attention of filmmakers with her breakout role in Gus Van Sant’s Drugstore Cowboy, for which she received an Independent Spirit Award nomination. She went on to land unforgettable roles in the 1997 classic Boogie Nights, for which she received the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, in 1999’s Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and in 2009’s The Hangover alongside Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifinakis.
In 2023, Graham could be seen in a variety of films including: The Other Zoey, a rom-com from director Sara Zandieh, alongside Andie MacDowell and Patrick Fabian; Netflix’s holiday film Best Christmas Ever with Brandy Norwood, Jason Biggs and Matt Cedeño; Suitable Flesh, which is streaming on Shudder, with Barbara Crampton; horror film Oracle; and opposite Dennis Quaid in MGM & LightWorkers’ On A Wing And A Prayer. She also appeared in the Apple TV+ series Extrapolations.
Graham has expanded into writing, directing, and producing, proving herself to be a leading multi-hyphenate talent. The critically acclaimed Half Magic, a film she wrote and directed, was released in theaters and on VOD in February 2018.
Written and directed by Graham, Chosen Family, made its world debut at the 2024 Santa Barbara Film Festival. Additionally, she’s set to star opposite Tom Hopper in Place of Bones, which is set for a 2024 release.
“Heather Graham embodies unwavering support for the independent film industry, earning her status as a beloved icon whose presence we deeply treasure and admire. We are honored with the privilege of not only acknowledging her remarkable contributions but also reveling in the spirit of this extraordinary woman. As the festival has been led by women for three decades, we’re honored to celebrate our anniversary with an incredible talent,” said SLOIFF Executive Director Skye McLennan.

To mark Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel’s 125th birthday celebration in 2024, Mother City, a curation of artworks from the Norval Foundation’s Collection will be on show at the legendary property. Punctuating The Nellie’s grand halls and public spaces, artworks through the lens of 16 artists’ nuanced practices will find a home at the hotel until October.
On the surface, Mother City is a concept that owes its name to Cape Town’s moniker as the first city settled by Europeans in South Africa, but the exhibition probes deeper. Drawing from the Norval Foundation’s extensive collection of contemporary works by some of the country’s most prominent artists, RESERVOIR founders Heinrich Groenewald and Shona van der Merwe have framed the exhibition around the multifaceted and complex notions associated with the role of the mother – particularly as a symbolic source of care. “Working with the geographical location of the Norval Foundation, the exhibition explores how these diverse and at times diasporic artists have come to be represented in the permanent collection, through an imagined symbolic connection to Cape Town – the Mother City. Notions of not only the archetypal mother but also its extended connotations of community, femininity, ancestry, and social icons can be found throughout the practices of the artists on show.”
Displayed throughout Mount Nelson’s lounge, bar, reception, conservatory and transitional spaces, this immersive collection of works spans mediums from painting, photography, and relief sculpture to tapestry and stitching. Each creator offers a unique perspective on the subject with exhibited artists including Mia Chaplin, Georgina Gratrix, Nicholas Hlobo, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami, Bronwyn Katz, Bonolo Kavula, Dada Khanyisa, Kapwani Kiwanga, Zanele Muholi, Cassi Namoda, Gregory Olympio, Thania Petersen, Athi-Patra Ruga, Gerda Scheepers, Berni Searle and Brett Charles Seiler.
“It’s a great honour to share part of the Homestead Collection with guests of Mount Nelson. As a leading 20th-century South African art collection dedicated to an expanded narrative, these works speak to the hotel’s reverence for its past and its insistence on being part of the future,” says founder of the Norval Foundation, Louis Norval.
This commitment to supporting art and creativity was a perfect marriage to the goals of the Cape Town art museum, Norval Foundation. Norval Foundation was established in 2018 as a platform to champion and support African Art and artists and to develop art education in the Western Cape. Since its inception, Norval Foundation has hosted exhibitions dedicated to the works of esteemed artists, including William Kentridge, Berni Searle, Cinga Samson, Michael Armitage, Bonolo Kavula, Wim Botha, and many more.
Globally, Belmond’s part in supporting the arts, its curators, and collectors in each of its global locations has been substantial. Locally, the Pink Lady, affectionately named after her emblematic painted façade, has been a cultural cornerstone for over a century. Set in the heart of Cape Town’s vibrant inner city and backed by Table Mountain, Mount Nelson fuses its impressive heritage with contemporary relevance and a cultural calendar that celebrates the country’s creative assets.
The hotel’s partnership with Investec Cape Town Art Fair, its site-specific architectural artwork by renowned French artist Daniel Buren as part of MITICO 3.0 by Galleria Continua, and its annual Confections x Collections event, curated by Twyg, have been key to establishing and deepening The Nellie’s imaginative offerings. “Our intention at Mount Nelson is to create a welcoming and engaging space where guests can celebrate the creativity, art, and design coming from our continent and beyond,” says Tiago Sarmento, General Manager of the hotel. The addition of pieces from the Norval Foundation’s Homestead Collection can only augment this ever-evolving artistic endeavour.

Marshall Harris‘s “Midnight-Cowboy Saddle” drawing, recognized as the winner in Create (Art), captivated the jury with its photorealistic depiction, seemingly ready to be placed on a horse for a ride into the sunset.

This architectural marvel captures the dynamic interplay of seasons, days, and atmospheric conditions, promising a unique experience that evolves with the passing hours. “New York 1920s: 100 Years Ago, When We Became Modern” stands as a well-funded initiative by NYIT, meticulously curating archival materials delving into various facets of life in NYC a century ago. Designed by the talented Micah Rimando, winner in Illustrate (Graphic), this project encapsulates the essence of art, literature, socio-political discourse, marginalized communities, controversial events, and the everyday experiences of New Yorkers from a bygone era. Ida Fiva Bech, recipient of the Winner in Shoot (Photo/Video) award, captivated the jury with her project delving into the theme of human disconnection from nature. Through her work, she skillfully portrays the perpetual reminder from the world that we are not separate from it.
