Model and entrepreneur David Gandy's fashion and lifestyle brand, David Gandy Wellwear, has announced a new partnership with Formula E race team, Jaguar TCS Racing. The collaboration will see David Gandy Wellwear creating the official travel kit for the 2024 season for Jaguar TCS Racing, incorporating the brand's innovative mineral-infused fabric designed to aid body recovery.
The bespoke three-piece capsule collection includes a zip hoodie, tapered heritage joggers, and a cotton crew T-shirt, all featuring a custom Jaguar TCS Racing logo. The zip hoodie and joggers utilize Wellwear's Restore mineral-infused fabric, which harnesses body heat to generate far infrared rays (FIR). FIR helps muscles relax, improves blood flow, enhances metabolism, and aids in repairing damage.
Additionally, the crew T-shirt is treated with Wellwear Breathe, an anti-odour and anti-bacterial technology that reduces bacteria on the fabric, allowing for extended wear without frequent washing.
David Gandy, the founder and creative director of David Gandy Wellwear, expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the brand's mission to merge technology and style to enhance physical and psychological well-being. He highlighted the importance of clothing that not only looks good but also makes the wearer feel good, particularly in demanding environments like motorsport.
Jaguar TCS Racing Team principal, James Barclay, underscored the significance of prioritizing the well-being of the team members, especially considering their rigorous schedules and frequent travel. He praised David Gandy Wellwear for not only enhancing the team's appearance during travel but also ensuring their comfort and performance.
This partnership follows David Gandy Wellwear's successful collaboration with Hackett London on a luxury lounge and sleepwear collection in 2023, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation and style in the fashion industry.
