Designer Stan Birch announces the creation of a bespoke jacket, designed especially for Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.
“<< RISE ABOVE >> is his favorite quote, as he said in an interview once. I thought it was describing him perfectly so I wanted to add it somewhere on the jacket. It can also be found on this inside liner.” – Stan Birch. Photography by Jérémie Masuka @jeremie_masuka
This unique, custom-made piece embodies the spirit of performance, style, and personal commitment of the greatest F1 driver in history.
A Custom Creation, Inspired by Lewis Hamilton, for Lewis Hamilton.
The jacket reflects deeply personal and sentimental elements for Lewis, with details such as his iconic number “44,” a reference to his idol Ayrton Senna, and his motto “Rise Above.”
44, On the back of the jacket, Lewis’s Formula 1 number, in his favorite color: Purple. On the left 4, an F in embroidered. F44 was his father’s number in Go-kart when he was a kid. On the second 4, all the dates when Lewis officially won World Championship. 2008,2014,2015,2017,2018,2019,2020. Symbolically, I left some space under the last one, meaning there will be some more soon.” – Stan Birch.Photography by Jérémie Masuka @jeremie_masuka
