We spent a night with Lewis Hamilton at the TOMMY X LEWIS fashion show in Milan.

Lewis and Tommy sit side by side in the backstage, they are commenting the show’s preview, fixing details with understanding glances. Looking at a five-time world champion in Formula 1 and one of the most successful designers in the world collaborating together it’s fascinating: two exceptional people, two different worlds who cross paths for the third time in a row in the TOMMYxLEWIS collection presented Monday night in Milan.

The show and party were anticipated by the opening of the new Tommy Hilfiger flagship store in Milan in via orefici. The party was hosted in the historic location of the Società del Giardino just near the Duomo in an elegant scenario mixed with the pop soul of the American brand with neons and mirrors from a dreamy 1980s effect.

As Lewis Hamilton explained, the collection is the encounter between sartorial classics and streetwear’s functionality, all revisited in sustainable fabrics and embellished with outdoor details. A collection where the suit joins the turtleneck and fleece with shiny twill. Burgundy and neutral tones contrast with vibrant check prints and bold red-blue hues.

The guests of the party admired the parade of the new collection, closed by Tommy and Lewis together on stage, later occupied by the exceptional live of one of the hip-hop artists OG appreciated by the new and old school: Pusha T. The future of Lewis Hamilton seems to go only in one direction: fashion.
