Lewis Hamilton's love for fashion is well-known, but his support for the next generation of Black talent within the industry is only just getting started.
Given his illustrious career as one of the motor racing world’s most legendary figures—and, of course, one of its most stylish and culturally perceptive ambassadors far outside of the sport—you might think Lewis Hamilton had enough on his plate when it came to planning his looks ahead of the 2021 Met gala.
That he should turn his lens from sport to fashion isn’t just a tokenistic gesture, but a celebration of the underrepresented and overlooked design talents that inspire him every day. “We’re living in a time where diversity and inclusion is so important, and that’s why I started this organization [The Hamilton Commission] within my own sport,” says Hamilton. “I realized it’s very similar in the fashion industry.
And for Hamilton, the Met gala—as well the platform it offers to promote a new group of groundbreaking design talents, just a handful of whom are here hosted on his table—was simply an obvious next step within his efforts to diversify the creative industries from top to bottom. “The Met is the biggest fashion event of the year, and for this theme, I wanted to create something that was meaningful and would spark a conversation,” Hamilton continues.
