Fashion designers reinterpreting premium hatchbacks seems to be all the rage these days, and the latest combines the efforts of one Orla Kiely with those of French automaker Citroën.

The resultant Citroën DS3 by Orla Kiely Collection is made up of four different models, each painted in one of four different colors with four different roof designs that feature Orla Kiely's signature stem or acorn design – a theme which repeats in the interior and on the rear tailgate. There's also contrasting door mirror shells and 17-inch alloys in either white or black depending on the design.

Only 500 examples will be made in all, and you can see them in the high-resolution image gallery below.
