After Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc also started a collaboration with a well-known fashion brand. Where Hamilton has committed himself to Tommy Hilfiger, Leclerc announces on Monday that he is ambassador of Giorgio Armani.

Giorgio Armani is an Italian fashion designer of 85 years who had his greatest successes with fashion brands Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani. The goal of the flamboyant Italian has always been to design elegant fashion and he has quickly spread it all over the world. In 2001, Forbes proclaimed him Italy's most successful designer and estimated the value of his company at nearly $2 billion.

Even more fashion in Formula 1

Leclerc is not the first driver to enter into a partnership with a fashion brand, because Hamilton is also busy with its own clothing line in addition to Formula 1. Hamilton can often be seen on the paddock in the most extravagant garments of Tommy Hilfiger and also managed to link the brand to Mercedes.

Whether that would be in the case of Ferrari is not yet clear. However, Leclerc himself is very proud as an ambassador of the Italian brand. ''Extremely happy to announce that I am now ambassador of Giorgio Armani. Fashion, along with music and motorsport, was an important passion of mine and it is a huge honour to be able to represent such a brand now'', Leclerc says on his Twitter.
