I recently saw F1: The Movie in theaters and was so captured by the fashion. The plot was absolutely mesmerizing of course. However, the racer outfits were such a standout piece alongside the cool-toned cinematic lighting.
1. Fashion as Identity & Energy
The film featured a collaboration by Tommy Hilfiger, the APXGP Collection, that effortlessly merged the racing heritage with the "Motorcore" aesthetic. From the bold tailoring to the mechanic shirts and polos, the edgy, racer style has made it's grand debut into mainstream fashion. In this generation, the sporty chic look has been all the rave, as everyone loves the "futuristic" edge. When it comes to style and music, futurism has always been an element that is incorporated as it can make things look ahead of their time.
For the main characters, Damson Idris and Brad Pitt, their personal style shines through their costumes and make a bold statement that is shown throughout the movie. The wardrobe features clean-lined layering, vintage-style leather, and sleek silhouettes in muted tones. It creates the perfect tension between functionality and charisma.
2. Fashion as Armor & Rituals
Just as athletes prepare mentally and physically, these stylish costumes project confidence and readiness. In racing, the uniforms are actual shields or "armor". They are flame-resistant suits, helmets, and gloves. These stylish pieces display resilience, ambition, and control. They allow the racers to embody authority and experience in a sports world that is so high-stakes.
3. The Wellness-Fashion Intersection
The tension between chaos and calm runs throughout the film. Speed and pressure mixed with self-expression and presence are the perfect cocktail to take things up a notch. The viewers are willing to take a sip.
Fashion is the bridge between:
* On the track, it protects
* On the red carpet, it empowers
* In daily rituals, it grounds
In F1: The Movie, fashion isn't just about speed or spectacle - it's wellness displayed in style. Every suit, jacket, and zipper is a reminder that what we wear can guard, heal, and prepare us for this life that can speed up at any given second. It will take turns left and right, but stay on the straight and narrow. Prepare your engines folks!
