Maserati, in partnership with Hiroshi Fujiwara, officially launched the special edition of the Ghibli under the collaboration “Maserati meets Fragment.” It is a product of the capabilities of the Maserati Fuoriserie customization program which allows individuals to customize their own Maserati, tailored to their unique taste.
Maserati x Hiroshi Fujiwara
Hiroshi Fujiwara is a Japanese designer known to be the Japanese godfather of street culture. He pioneered the streetwear culture in the 1980s and introduced hip hop to the Land of the Rising Sun. Some of his notable collaborations include Louis Vuitton, Nike, Starbucks, Converse, Apple, and Pokemon.
The renowned Japanese streetwear designer crafted the Maserati Ghibli special edition with the Japanese concept “ITANJI” to bring out the Operanera (all-black) and Operabianca (all-white) concepts. It showcases the brilliance between the collaboration of the Italian automotive powerhouse and the Japanese street culture.

Inside, the Maserati Ghibli special edition is upholstered with premium leather and Alcantara, with silver inserts for the vertical stitching and the brand’s signature ‘Trident’ on the headrests. To add a stylish and youthful vibe, the seat belts are finished in dark blue, creating an appealing contrast in both the front and rear seats.
The all-black concept looks elegantly appealing
As for the exterior, Fijuwara’s metropolitan style is embedded in a specific grille and the logo of the special edition. Both the Ghibli concepts are fitted with 20-inch Urano matte black wheels and a specific badge with the Fragment logo on the C pillar. To top it all off, the code M157110519FRG is inscribed underneath the three iconic side air ducts.
The addition of blue trims is a great touch
The first four characteristics are the Ghibli ID code, and the next six numbers record the date of the first meeting (5 November 2019) between Hiroshi and the Centro Stile Maserati. Lastly, the final three letters are the acronym of Fragment.
An Italian-Japanese art
The Italian automaker said that the Maserati Ghibli special edition will have a total of 175 units for global distribution available in a monochromatic duo, namely the Ghibli Operanera and Ghibli Operabianca. It should be a dream collection for individuals who are into both the different worlds of the prestigious collaborators.
