Tommy Hilfiger and Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team rev up for a new collaboration. This time, the partners join creative forces with artist, author, and Cotte D’Armes designer Clarence Ruth. Ruth shares his interpretation of Tommy Hilfiger’s iconic preppy style and the sporty aesthetic of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1.

Revealing Ruth’s designs, F1 team drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton share the spotlight. The 10-piece collection features everything from a color-blocked varsity jacket to soccer jerseys and embroidered chino pants.
“Designing this collection challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and think more creatively,” shares Clarence Ruth. “I usually design tailored pieces, so with sports being at the base of this collection, I had to think a little more outside the box. It’s been an incredible journey collaborating with the Tommy Hilfiger and Mercedes-AMG F1 teams, selecting colors and finalizing designs. I feel blessed.”
The color palette of this collection is a vivid nod to classic Americana blended with the sleek lines of high-performance sportswear. Ruth’s approach marries Tommy Hilfiger’s red, white, and blue with Mercedes-AMG’s signature silver and green accents.
The standout piece is undoubtedly the varsity jacket, a bold statement with contrasting sleeves and rich embroidery, embodying the essence of both brands. With their minimalist yet impactful designs, the soccer jerseys add a contemporary twist to traditional sportswear.
Meanwhile, the embroidered chino pants bring sophistication, perfect for both trackside and city streets. The Tommy Hilfiger x Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One x Clarence Ruth limited-edition collection will launch at the Barcelona Grand Prix on June 21-23, 2024.
