Ford Mustang GT 390 del 1968.
Two examples of Mustang were used during filming: one driven by McQueen equipped with a smoke system on the rear axle,
the other, driven by stuntman Bud Ekins and equipped with a roll cage and reinforced suspension (nicknamed Jumper, was used for the jumps on the slopes of San Francisco).
After the film the cars disappeared for decades. The first discovery was that of the Jumper, found abandoned in a warehouse in Mexico in March 2017; the other car came out a few months later from a New Jersey family who kept it in secret for forty years, then subjected to a conservative restoration by Ford itself and exhibited at the Detroit International Auto Show in January 2018, coinciding with the presentation of the "Bullitt Limited Edition" of the latest generation Mustang.

Bejeweled Armoured Yashmak By Shaun Leane for Alexander McQueen: Spring/Summer (2000)
Designed for McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2000 collection, which initially explored the clashing of Middle Eastern and Western cultures, The Yashmak, a veil concealing all of the face except the eyes, which is worn by some Muslim women in public. This metal Yashmak is part of a collection of jewelry that was designed for Alexander McQueen by Leane, who was not only a collaborator of McQueen’s, but also a good friend. Considered to be one of the top twenty most spectacular pieces in McQueen’s oeuvre, the Yashmak is created from aluminum plates cast from molds. The plates are linked by chains and inset at the center with red, Cabochon Swarovski crystals.
