Tommy Hilfiger, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team And Awake NY Launch Collaboration

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The #partnership strengthens the bonds between the #racing and #fashion worlds while giving a platform to underrepresented communities.
Tommy Hilfiger, which is owned by #pvhcorp. [NYSE: PVH], announces together with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team that New York streetwear brand Awake NY has co-created the new Tommy x Mercedes-AMG #f1 x Awake NY collection and campaign. Launching on May 4th ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, the collection combines Awake NY’s founder Angelo Baque’s street-style sensibility with TOMMY HILFIGER’s signature prep aesthetic to create a range of motorsport-inspired lifestyle icons that dares to be different.

“I have been an #f1 fan since I was a kid, and we’ve been breaking conventions in our partnerships with the sport since the ‘90s” said #tommyhilfiger. “With this collaboration, we wanted to continue to innovate with both design and an inclusive spirit to create a bold new perspective for the next generation of racegoers.” #angelobaque, an immense admirer of #lewishamilton and fan of Formula 1, was able to lend his design values and ethos to the community, culture and city of Miami in celebration of its Grand Prix weekend.

The collection presents a fresh new vision of Formula 1, where perspectives collide, inspiration is sparked, and everybody is welcome to join the ride.

“My visit to the Tommy archive sparked the nostalgia of my youth and inspired much of my approach to this collection,” said #angelobaque. “My desire was to authentically interpret streetwear and Americana. Never in a million years did I think this Ecuadorian kid from Queens, NY, would be designing pieces proudly worn by #lewishamilton, #georgerussell and Mercedes-AMG #f1. Seeing Tommy, Lewis and myself working together on this project is important for the younger versions of ourselves to understand representation matters.”

The campaign follows stories of the grit, determination and spirit that inspired seven-time champion and #f1 legend #lewishamilton, Grand-Prix winner #georgerussell and Awake NY’s #angelobaque, as well as Mr. #tommyhilfiger, on their individual journeys, and features Mercedes-AMG Petronas #f1 Reserve Driver, #mickschumacher. The campaign was photographed by Adrienne Raquel, and video content was captured by Anthony Prince Leslie.

Reflecting the values of the People’s Place program, a #tommyhilfiger initiative that aims to give opportunity to underrepresented communities in the creative industry, the collaboration will work with Creatives Want Change (CWC), inviting BIPOC participants to attend the race in Miami on May 7th. Danae Harrison, Dayne Thompson and Donald Whorley from CWC will work closely with #angelobaque on the grid before the race, exploring how the collaboration evolves, from concept to production.

“Change is an inevitable part of both sport and life. As a team, we understand the importance of embracing this on and off the track to continually innovate, inspire and tackle the challenges presented to us,” said Toto Wolff, CEO and Team Principal of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team. “We’re proud to celebrate these shared values through this collaboration; not only creating an iconic collection but by supporting and highlighting creators from underrepresented communities.”

The Tommy x Mercedes-AMG #f1 x Awake NY collection of seven gender-inclusive styles reinvents archival staples with inspirations from #racing and NYC street aesthetics. The essence of Americana is brought to Formula 1 in a classic baseball jersey, while a T-Shirt dedicated to the Miami Grand Prix comes in diva pink, electric blue lemonade and black options. The Tommy, Awake NY and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team logos feature across long-sleeves, polos, baseball jerseys and rugby shirts. T-shirts and baseball jerseys display the drivers’ #racing numbers, with Lewis Hamilton’s 44 and George Russell’s 63, while a special Awake NY tribute references ’85, the year #tommyhilfiger was launched. Colorways include Tommy’s signature red, white and blue, while the Mercedes-AMG #f1 pieces showcase the core team palette of black and white highlighted with volt green.

“Since the beginning of our #partnership in 2018, we have continually pushed the boundaries of what is possible by creating bold ranges, highlighting causes important to both organizations, and sharing incredible stories.” added Richard Sanders, Chief Commercial Officer of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team. “This innovative campaign is the next step, reflecting the work of important initiatives such as the People’s Place program and Accelerate 25, whilst creating an eye-catching collection.”
