MESSIKA PARIS X ROMAIN GROSJEAN

It’s the most natural fit: the renowned French driver Romain Grosjean, and the Messika Maison. Radiant and authentic, Romain Grosjean poses with ease for photographer Sonia Sieff in a “casual chic” campaign far from the racetrack, specially designed by Artistic Director Valérie Messika. “We are a very fashion focused Maison, and I wanted to bring Romain to a setting that was different from the usual sports images,” explains Messika. Surprising and offbeat, Valérie Messika has created three new styles full of nuance:

Three inspired attitudes that bring out the many faces of this incredible driver.

With an assertive edge and My Move leather straps, this clean style is true to Romain Grosjean’s nature. An inspired variation on the model, with chocolate and rose gold tones that perfectly complement Grosjean’s complexion.

Understated and stylish, here Grosjean poses in an all-black look. In monochrome chic, black brings out the strength of titanium and power of diamonds in the Move Titanium collection.

In laidback jeans and a white t-shirt, Romain Grosjean looks at home in the Move Titanium Cord collection. A modern, refined look for a casual strap that fits every pace of life.

A skilled Formula 1 racer and great sportsman, as well as father to three young children, Romain Grosjean is a determined man with great mental strength. It’s a power that starts him up every day, in his career and personal life alike. Pushing your limits, always surpassing yourself, knowing how to reinvent yourself: these are all values that resonate with the spirit of the Messika Maison.

The combination of Messika and Grosjean is built on sincerity: “Romain has been a friend of the Maison for several years, and I greatly admire his positive, radiant energy. The idea for this shoot was a natural fit for both of us.”

A spontaneous, instinctive project marking an original, illustrious campaign for the Messika Maison. And the perfect challenge for a sportsman used to

zooming round the track to slow down for the occasion, showing himself in a new light.

“Romain is a brilliant man with great resilience. Coming through his appalling accident in 2020, he has always known which steps to take and how to bounce back. He embodies values that I hold in high regard.”
