Every place in the world is a platform if you want it to be, and this is something Lewis Hamilton understands very well. This is exactly what gave birth to the ‘Lewis Hamilton Fashion Week’. We all know about the Mercedes man’s Thursday paddock walks and everyone’s varying opinions on it. However, during the IWC Las Vegas GP event, the Brit talked about it and revealed what motivates him.

During this conversation, he named some big names and brands he’s been a part of for a very long time. However, the Brit failed to mention the $400 million brand which recently pledged its allegiance to the LH army. First, let’s see the brands Hamilton decided to honor and credit for his motivation to express himself fully.

Lewis Hamilton credits certain brands and people for his fashion inspiration

The Brit is nothing short of a fashion icon on the grid, and he proves that on every race weekend, especially with his Thursday paddock walks. He took it up a notch during the Las Vegas GP and the fans labeled it the Lewis Hamilton Fashion Week. So when inquired about it, the Brit talked about the fashion walks and his inspiration in the world of fashion.

When asked, “With your style changing over the years Team LH, like myself, has seen you adopt the race weekend as a fashion show for us fans, what thought process is there regarding this, and who’s inspired you?”

Hamilton said, “Well no matter what I tried to do the cameras followed so thought heck I’ll put on a show.”

In terms of inspiration, he revealed a lot of designers across the globe inspire him. He obviously mentioned Tommy Hilfiger and being hands-on with the design element, watching fashion shows in his downtime if he isn’t able to attend.

He also mentioned the Met Gala and showcasing the designs of young black designers who ordinarily wouldn’t be talked about or get the platform even if they’ve worked with Vogue and won awards.
