From November 27 to December 5, 2024, fashion and motorsport enthusiasts will have the unique opportunity to bid on a one-of-a-kind jacket from the PUMA x MAPF1 x RÆBURN collection. Crafted from Lewis Hamilton‘s race-winning suit, this exceptional piece embodies a groundbreaking collaboration that fuses the adrenaline of Formula One with innovative fashion design.
Launching in July 2024, the PUMA x MAPF1 x RÆBURN collection showcases a bold intersection of motorsport heritage and contemporary style. Renowned designer Christopher RÆBURN applied his pioneering upcycling techniques to transform race-worn suits worn by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team drivers and mechanics into high-fashion pieces. This particular jacket, made from Lewis Hamilton’s suit from the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix, is a remarkable collector’s item and a tangible piece of racing history.
Bidding on this one-of-a-kind jacket isn’t just about acquiring exclusive clothing; it’s about contributing to a meaningful cause. All proceeds from the auction will support a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth through street fashion and the upcycling of leftover fabrics. This initiative reflects the shared commitment of PUMA, the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team and RÆBURN to promote social change and environmental sustainability.
The collection features three distinct tiers of products, each highlighting different aspects of this innovative partnership. Contributions from other notable riders, including George Russell, add to the appeal of the collection. The auction jacket serves as the hero piece, exemplifying the creativity and forward-thinking ethos of the collaboration.
Mark your calendars for November 27th for this exclusive auction. This is a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary garment that transcends traditional fashion boundaries.
