Lewis Hamilton on finding his personal style—and why Pharrell is his style icon

At Mercedes-Benz Australia and Vogue Australia's dinner in celebration of the upcoming Melbourne Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion and driver spoke candidly about all things Formula 1 and fashion.

How does Lewis Hamilton spend a Thursday evening, the day before a race weekend? If tonight was something to go off of, the answer would be waxing lyrical about personal style and his style icons onstage at a dinner trackside. The seven-time world champion popped into the Mercedes AMG Lounge at Melbourne's Albert Park for a dinner hosted by Mercedes-Benz Australia and Vogue Australia in celebration of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, speaking on stage with teammate George Russell and Fox Sports commentator Hannah Hollis. And there was no better person to ask about style than Hamilton, a driver who has arguably pioneered the modern synergy between fashion and Formula 1. A race week brings plenty of speed and adrenaline, but also outfit after outfit from Hamilton, who often roams the paddock in labels like Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Dior and Rick Owens. How, then, Hollis wondered aloud before a seated audience, did he discover his own sense of personal style, and what would he recommend to someone else attempting to do the same? "I'm sure many of you look at your old photos and think, 'What the hell was that?'" Lewis laughed. "But what I've discovered is it's a real process, a real journey. It’s just trying and being daring. I think I've tried so many different styles. I kind of describe my style as an evolution. It's whatever makes you feel great. The trick is about self-expression. None of us are the same as anyone else. We have our own unique tastes, but it's whatever makes you feel sexy! Embracing confidence." For Hamilton, style goes hand-in-hand with performance. "I grew up aspiring to be a Formula 1 driver. I wasn't thinking about my fashion sense on the journey," he continued. "I think a lot of drivers have gone through the same experience. Fashion is such an important way to express yourself, and you have got to feel good. If you're wearing something that you feel confident in, you walk in with a lot of extra inches in your stride and you know that's what you need when you walk into the paddock. When your fans have cameras on you and you've got your competitors around, you need to have that confidence, so I think fashion is actually really important. It's taken me a long time to get fashionable and a long time to actually convince the teams to change; I wasn't able to wear my own things. And then I started going to fashion shows. I really love the fashion shows because there's a very diverse audience; so many different people from different walks of life, all dressed in their own styles, with no apologies. So it's been a fun journey, and now all of these other drivers are starting to express themselves in their own way." On the topic of sartorial icons, Hamilton was quick to praise Naomi Campbell, cover star of Vogue Australia's most recent March 2024 issue. "Naomi is incredible. I met Naomi many, many times. In the first year [we met], 2007, she just immediately adopted me as a brother, so she's always been that big sis. But for me, when I was younger, I think I was heavily influenced by hip-hop, R&B and pop culture. I was always watching those videos when I got home. Pharrell, for me, was that style icon for me. I loved how he progressed from music into the fashion space when he was working with Chanel. And what he’s doing now, leading LV, is pretty incredible, so I look up to him for that."

Madeline Stuart: Un’Icona di Diversità e Inclusione nella Moda

La storia di Madeline Stuart, nata il 13 novembre 1996 a Brisbane, Australia, rappresenta una vera rivoluzione nel mondo della moda. Madeline è la prima modella professionista al mondo con sindrome di Down, una pioniera che ha infranto barriere e sfidato stereotipi, dimostrando che il talento, la dedizione e l’amore per il proprio lavoro possono superare qualsiasi ostacolo.

Dalla Passerella di Brisbane al Palcoscenico Internazionale

L’interesse di Madeline per la moda è nato nel 2014, quando ha assistito a una sfilata a Brisbane insieme a sua madre, Rosanne Stuart. Quell’evento è stato il punto di partenza di un percorso straordinario. Madeline decise di intraprendere la carriera di modella, un settore che fino a quel momento non aveva mai visto una rappresentazione significativa di persone con disabilità. Con l’appoggio di sua madre, ha avviato una trasformazione fisica e mentale, perdendo oltre 20 kg per prepararsi alla sua nuova carriera.

Nel 2015, Rosanne ha lanciato una campagna online per far conoscere il talento di Madeline, che in breve tempo è diventata virale. Il suo volto e la sua storia hanno conquistato il pubblico e attirato l’attenzione di importanti marchi di moda, tra cui Manifesta e everMaya, che le hanno offerto i suoi primi contratti da modella.

Successi nelle Più Grandi Fashion Week

Nel settembre 2015, Madeline ha raggiunto un traguardo storico: ha sfilato per la prima volta alla New York Fashion Week, uno degli eventi più prestigiosi del settore. Da quel momento, la sua carriera è decollata. Ha calcato le passerelle delle principali Fashion Week internazionali, tra cui Parigi, Londra, Dubai, Mosca e persino la Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Cina. La sua presenza ha portato una ventata di freschezza, diversità e inclusione in un settore tradizionalmente elitario.

Nel 2017, Forbes ha riconosciuto il suo contributo classificandola come la figura numero uno per la diversità nell’industria della moda. La sua capacità di abbattere le barriere l’ha resa una figura di riferimento globale per la rappresentazione delle persone con disabilità.

L’impegno Sociale e il Lancio del Proprio Brand

Oltre a essere una modella di successo, Madeline è un’instancabile sostenitrice della comunità disabile. Ha fondato il marchio di moda 21 Reasons Why by Madeline Stuart, presentato alla New York Fashion Week, dove ogni collezione riflette il suo impegno per l’inclusione e la diversità.

Il suo lavoro non si ferma alle passerelle. Madeline è stata nominata per il Pride of Australia Award e il Young Australian of the Year Award per tre anni consecutivi, dal 2015 al 2017. A livello internazionale, ha ricevuto l’Advocacy Award per il suo lavoro in Uganda e il Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Award da Global Down Syndrome nel 2018.

Ambasciatrice di Diversità e Ispirazione Globale

Madeline continua a supportare numerose organizzazioni benefiche, tra cui Veteran Affairs, Special Olympics e Melange, lavorando a stretto contatto con realtà che promuovono l’inclusione delle persone con disabilità. È anche ambasciatrice di Inside Outside Dance a Brisbane, un’iniziativa che aiuta i giovani con disabilità a entrare nel mondo della danza.

Inoltre, è ambasciatrice di marchi come Art Hearts Fashion e la Australian Foundation for Disability, portando avanti il suo messaggio di empowerment. La sua voce è stata ascoltata in eventi di rilievo, tra cui incontri organizzati dalla Down Syndrome Association e conferenze internazionali.

Un Modello di Inclusione per il Futuro della Moda

La storia di Madeline Stuart è un esempio di come la moda possa essere uno strumento di cambiamento sociale. Attraverso la sua determinazione e il suo talento, ha dimostrato che la bellezza risiede nella diversità e che il settore può essere inclusivo senza rinunciare alla qualità e alla creatività.

Madeline continua a ispirare persone in tutto il mondo, ricordando che ognuno, indipendentemente dalle proprie capacità, può raggiungere i propri sogni. La sua carriera è una testimonianza vivente del potere trasformativo della moda, che non è solo un settore di lusso, ma un mezzo per raccontare storie di resilienza, forza e speranza.

Oggi, Madeline Stuart non è solo una modella, ma un’icona globale, simbolo di una moda che abbraccia la diversità e celebra le differenze.

I’mnot completely sure of this collection this year. It’s really not something that I’ve come to expect of this. There were just so many colours and textures that I didn’t know where to look. I felt that there were just too many to take in.

I would love to know what your thoughts are on this collection.
