Formula 1 style

Fashionoffice has collected some pieces for a sportive-elegant style such as jeanswear by the French couture house Pierre Cardin for the Turkish Grand Prix from 6 to 8 May 2011 in Istanbul. After Australia, Malaysia, and China, it's this year's first European race of the Formula 1; and world champion 2010 Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel is still in the leading position.

Formula 1 in the world of sports is like Haute Couture in fashion. The luxurious sports event is supported by several fashion and lifestyle labels which are using in return the publicity of the athletes for their promotions. It's the same like in high culture - without money no top sports! The style of these promotions could be described as sportive-elegant - sometimes with a humorous wink, such as seen at the Mercedes-Benz video about a pregnant woman who has to decide which Formula 1 driver, Nico Rosberg or Michael Schumacher - both are driving for Mercedes, shall take her to the hospital.

 

fig.: Jeanswear by Pierre Cardin, SS2011. The picture was shot inside Marrakesh (Morocco). Pierre Cardin's fashion brings a hint of Haute Couture into the relaxed sportive style of jeanswear.

Pierre Cardin, born in Italy (1922) and moved as a child with his parents in 1924 to France to escape Fascism, is known for his Palazzo in Venice where Giacomo Casanova lived and his Marquis de Sade castle in France. Pierre Cardin worked before he founded his own label (1950) for Elsa Schiaparelli and Christian Dior. In 1959, he was the first designer who moved from Haute Couture into ready-to-wear.
