Though Lewis Hamilton has earned the majority of his fame via his huge accolades in F1, he has also been a renowned name in the fashion industry. Moreover, he has informal relationships with several fashion figures, including fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, who he reckons as a big brother. Lewis Hamilton‘s entry into the fashion scene is not new.

He has been wearing designer outfits for over a decade and is one of the most recognized fashion icons in the world. However, without Tommy Hilfiger, Hamilton’s journey in the fashion world might have been a lot more rollercoaster-like rather than stable as it currently is. Subsequently, the 39-year-old dwelled deeper into how he first met the American fashion designer and how their relationship has panned out since then.

I don’t think I would be where I am today in the fashion space without him. I just think it’s so special, because you don’t get to see that too much with people who are super successful creating opportunities for young people. And with Tommy himself, you just never see him without a smile.

I just call him a brother, you know? He’s like a big brother, and it’s always been like that ever since we first met at the Met Gala. That’s just who he is.
