"I did a lot of research and I came across this 18th Century gardener who, through slavery times, came across from Africa to Wales and became the first black gardener in Wales. "Through adversity, he really triumphed, so that's where the inspiration really came from." That gardener, John Ystumllyn, was snatched from his home when he was about eight years old and likely brought to Wales to become a servant for society aristocrats. He was the first legally registered black person from North Wales. The poem, written by Black poet Alex Wharton and stitched inside the jacket, is inspired by the life of John Ystumllyn. The thorns necklace represents "the pain [lived] through that slavery trade at the time." When interviewed by Vogue, Lewis Hamilton explained the idea behind his look.
