The most exclusive credit card in the world gets a special update this year with three novel designs featuring wearable tech and Art Cards in collaboration with architect Rem Koolhaas and artist Kehinde Wiley.

The Kehinde Wiley x Centurion Art Card incorporates botanical motifs from the artist’s painting of Princess Victoire of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which is part of his famous An Economy of Grace series dedicated to celebrating African-American women. The portraits feature custom-made couture gowns designed by Riccardo Tisci who was with Givenchy at the time. “An important part of my work is the decorative, organic background of the person being portrayed. The design on the Centurion Card stems from my interest in botanical elements and is a reference to my signature style,” explains Wiley.
