Apart from the boring obvious (young, successfull, handsome guys...) it's modelling Swiss designer Philipp Plein's collection. While the Gossip Girl star did so in the brands current campaign and the Milan catwalk during men's fashion week, 12 of the elite group of Formula 1 drivers walked His Serene Highness' catwalk for charity at Amber Lounge Monaco.
Think heavy leather jackets and cool tailoring sprinkled with ice...lot's of ice! It's all in the finest materials and the exquisite details: studs, diamanté details, velvet slippers and sharp suits. It's real men's fashion definitely not for the faint-hearted - so they couldn't have found a better group to channel the Philipp Plein vibe then the men racing in the fastest cars as a day job.
After the initial shyness and several sessions of alteration (carried out by moi - people on the screen may appear bigger than in real life...) they were Pulling. Them. Off.... and not in a Red-Cowboy-Boot way.
And as for Ed Westwick - well show me something he wouldn't pull off. But you can judge it for yourself who did a better job:
Ed Westwick v. Jean Eric Vergne in a navy blue velvet suit
Ed v. Valtteri Bottas in grey one-button suit
Ed v. Vitaly Petrov in croc sleeve baseball jacket
And here is what the other guys were wearing for the catwalk:
Daniel Ricciardo in a grey Chelsea suit - he gets the thumbs from me for his Gucci high tops he showed up in
Dani Clos in 'Gentleman' leather sleeved blazer
Bruno Senna in a 'Terrorist Bunny T-shirt'
So what's the verdict?
