“It’s About Self-Expression”: Lewis Hamilton Breaks His Silence On Unique Fashion Interests in Recent Times

F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, apart from being a fashion icon. Cares about the type of fashion he supports and promotes. Lewis is an influential person in a lot of fields along with Formula 1. And outspoken about the issues and struggles from across the globe makes him truly great. And he tries to inspire even with his fashion.

In a conversation with Vogue, Lewis gave us an insight into his philosophy of self-expression. If his last year’s Met Gala message wasn’t clear enough, he spelled it out during this interview. A tiny glimpse into his mindset about the message he wants to deliver into the fashion world.

Lewis’s reply to the question, “Is there a kind of philosophy behind your self-expression?” was “For me,  fashion is about freeing yourself—it’s about self-expression; it’s about you; it’s about slowly, over time, evolving and learning more about yourself and what you like and how you want to show up—how you want to be seen. What makes you feel great? It’s a great feeling when you put on a piece of clothing and throw your shoulders back and are just like: I feel great today.”

Lewis Hamilton supports sustainability

“I’m excited  for young Black designers that perhaps in the past were overlooked, and for young British designers. I’ve also been plant-based for the last six years, and I know that not every brand in the fashion space is environmentally conscious—the industry as a whole is still quite a big contributor to pollution.” Said Lewis, sharing his thoughts on the sustainability factor of the fashion industry.

Coming from a humble background and rising to immeasurable fame with his talent is exactly what Lewis looks out for. Being the only driver of color on the grid is also something that stays with Lewis. Keeping these two factors in mind, he targets designers who have similar backgrounds and need a platform.
