Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button turn their hand to...styling?!?

Bet you never thought you'd see a statement like that in your lifetime! It is, however, not a joke. The two racing drivers did indeed get together to style, direct and photograph an eccentric summer shoot! And I have to say, they're not half bad!
Guided by Parisian stylist and model, Valentine Fillol-Cordier and with models Charlotte W and Eve Delf who have collaborated with the likes of Burberry and Prada, as well as renowned photographer Mario Testino, the boys pulled of an impressive shoot with props ranging from bird cages and picnic tables to a life size model horse.
The shoot was part of the Vodafone VIP's online film series, the title sponsors of McLaren, previous films have seen drivers pitching tents at festivals and assembling their own F1 cars. I think this is great though and looks like good fun. Maybe I should stop trying to get work with fashion magazines and try collaboration with F1 drivers instead!
