I’m not much of a clothes horse anymore (they whup that out of you once you pass 55). But back in the day, I’d definitely have gone for the RÆBURN Mercedes F1 hoody. I mention it here because the brand was founded by Christopher Raeburn, who is doing more with it than just making snappy hoodies.
Raeburn wants to be out front among the many fashion houses that have made sustainability a trend, but he’s going further than simply using reclaimed materials.
He partners with other fashion designers to increase sustainability through synergy. The latest example being SHIELD, a reclaimed line he announced in April 2025 in partnership with Benjamin Hubert, the founder of LAYER.
Raeburn also differentiates RÆBURN by offering workshops and mentorships to young designers who care about climate and creativity. Finally, he’s tirelessly vocal about reducing waste in the industry.
