In a landmark collaboration that merges the worlds of haute couture and high-speed motorsport, Louis Vuitton has been announced as an Official Partner of Formula 1, marking the beginning of a decade-long partnership under the prestigious LVMH umbrella. This extraordinary alliance brings together two global icons renowned for their pursuit of innovation, craftsmanship, and excellence, redefining the synergy between luxury and the fast-paced world of racing.
The Grand Entrance of Louis Vuitton into Formula 1
Starting in 2025, Louis Vuitton will take center stage at the opening race of the Formula 1 season in Melbourne, where the event will bear the distinguished title of FORMULA 1 LOUIS VUITTON AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025. This marks a defining moment in sports and fashion history, as the French Maison extends its influence beyond fashion runways and into the exhilarating circuits of Formula 1.
For the first time ever, Louis Vuitton will feature prominent trackside branding at a sporting event, further deepening its footprint in the competitive world of motorsport. In addition to its visible presence on the circuits, the luxury house will play a pivotal role in the race’s most celebratory moments, from the grandeur of the opening ceremony to the iconic podium presentations.
A New Chapter in the House’s Legacy of Trophy Trunks
Synonymous with victory, Louis Vuitton’s legendary Trophy Trunks—custom-made masterpieces that have safeguarded the most coveted prizes in sports—will take center stage at every Formula 1 Grand Prix. These exquisite creations, adorned with the brand’s signature Monogram canvas, will feature an exclusive ‘V’ insignia, uniquely designed in local color palettes for each host country, adding a bespoke touch to the pinnacle of motorsport achievement.
This move is a natural evolution for Louis Vuitton, which previously crafted its first Formula 1 Trophy Trunk in partnership with the Automobile Club de Monaco for the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco (2021-2024). The House’s heritage in designing iconic sports trophies extends beyond Formula 1, having partnered with esteemed global events such as the FIFA World Cup, the Rugby World Cup, the Olympics, and the America’s Cup in sailing.

A Shared Pursuit of Excellence
The collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Formula 1 is a defining moment that underscores the growing intersection of luxury, sports, and entertainment. Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, encapsulated the essence of this partnership, stating: “We are thrilled to welcome Louis Vuitton as Title Partner for our first 2025 race. This is a partnership between two global icons linked first and foremost by their great passion for innovation, excellence, and creativity… The entry of Louis Vuitton not only enhances the experience of our sport, but celebrates the union of luxury, craftsmanship, and the highest expression of automotive competition.”
The sentiment was echoed by Pietro Beccari, Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton, who remarked, “I am immensely proud of this partnership between Louis Vuitton and Formula 1, with our shared ambition to always strive for innovation, craft, and precision. The synergy of our two worlds is echoed in the savoir-faire of our ateliers and garages, artisans, and engineers, while celebrating the outstanding performance of champion drivers around the world who embark on a journey of excellence with every race.”
Luxury, Speed, and the Future of Motorsport
As the world of motorsport embraces a new era of refined elegance, Louis Vuitton’s presence in Formula 1 signals a deeper fusion between luxury and performance. This collaboration not only elevates the grandeur of the sport but also reflects a broader cultural shift where fashion, craftsmanship, and elite competition seamlessly intertwine. With the first race of the 2025 season set to make history under the Louis Vuitton banner, fans and connoisseurs alike can anticipate a thrilling spectacle where speed meets savoir-faire in the ultimate celebration of excellence.
