Lewis Hamilton: From Formula 1 to Fashion Front Row
Renowned British racing driver Lewis Hamilton, currently making waves in Formula 1 with Mercedes, has seamlessly transitioned into the world of fashion, earning accolades as a certified style icon.
In addition to clinching championship titles and shattering world records, Hamilton takes the lead in Valentino ad campaigns and commands attention from the front row at prestigious Fashion Week events.
Hamilton’s passion for fashion extends beyond personal style, as he actively champions and celebrates the work of young, black designers. A notable example was at the 2021 Met Gala, where Hamilton not only graced the event but also purchased an entire table to extend invitations to young black creatives, countering the often exclusive nature of such gatherings.
Among the talented attendees were designers Kenneth Nicholson, Edvin Thompson (the creative mind behind Theophilio), and Jason Rembert (the stylist-turned-designer responsible for Aliétte).
As Lewis Hamilton commemorates his 38th birthday, L’OFFICIEL pays homage to his profound love for fashion by compiling a collection of his most memorable looks. Beyond the racetrack, Hamilton continues to break barriers, showcasing his commitment to diversity and style on and off the fashion runway.
