Ahead of the Formula One season, Puma athlete Lewis Hamilton has been testing his new Mercedes in Barcelona, Spain. He linked up with Jamaican-Canadian model, and the face of upcoming Puma campaign Winnie Harlow while at it. The beauty is also one of the leading faces for the Tommy Hilfiger Icons Spring/Summer 2020 ad campaign. Shot by famed fashion photographer and film-maker Oliver Hadlee Pearch, Harlow shares lens time with South African model Candice Swanepoel and with American Hannah Ferguson. Hilfiger’s S/S 2020 collection highlights nautical themes and features the brand’s classic colour palette of red, white and blue.

Another week, another trip down the runway for Saint International models Tami Williams, Romaine Dixon, and Naki Depass. This time the stars walked for Thom Browne Fall 2020 Ready-To-Wear Collection in Paris. The show featured models who walked as pairs for the Noah’s Ark-themed collection. Sadly for us, our Jamaican stars did not strut hand-in-hand for what would have been the money shot, but ruled the runway nonetheless.
