FORMULA ONE

Formula One Collection derived from a photo from the 70’s F1’s Ferrari 312PB Pit Stop Team / Nurburgring 1973. Showcasing the pit crew in dusty blue boiler suits, surrounding a red f1 vehicle, lit in the foreground and surrounded by the dark garage stall. This was the beginning color palette that influenced this season.

Following with my interest in work wear uniforms; my main focus was re-imagining the driver’s boiler suits alongside with the drivers off duty silhouettes.

Alongside uniformity, I wanted to inter-grate the clothes to the machine. Formula one vehicles and 70’s vintage sport car bodies, showing unique linear contours with the contrast textures of spiraling wheels, mesh grills and inner interiors. This influence was applied by multiple paneling details onto paired garments, with the contrasting textural fabrics, such as corduroy, dual denim velvet, cotton rip stop and mesh overlays.
