Dior is preparing to launch a new collection created in collaboration with Formula 1 driver and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

This is the fashion house’s second collaboration with the athlete. This time, the capsule by Hamilton is dedicated to exploring the concept of Afrofuturism. As the driver himself noted, the inspiration came from his travels to Morocco, Senegal, Mozambique, Benin, and Madagascar.

His time in Africa left such a strong impression that he decided to translate everything that deeply moved him onto fabric – the culture, colors, philosophy, and rhythm – combining heritage with innovation.

«I wanted to imagine the future of Black culture – through art, science, and aesthetics», Hamilton said.

The collection will feature minimalist looks including tweed bomber jackets with leopard print, wide-leg trousers paired with chunky boots and bucket hats, as well as graphic-patterned vests.

The capsule will be available in Dior stores starting July 3.
