Who knew Brad Pitt’s stylish F1 look was crafted in Gujarat?

Brad Pitt’s latest film F1 isn’t just about fast cars and high-stakes racing, it also has a pretty cool fashion moment with an unexpected Indian connection. In one of the key scenes, Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, rocks a super chill indigo shirt that might look simple at first glance, but there's a lot more to it.Turns out, the shirt is from 11.11 / eleven eleven, an Indian label known for blending heritage techniques with modern design. Made from organic cotton and crafted in the traditional Tangaliya weave, the shirt adds subtle depth and texture to Brad’s otherwise laid-back look. Styled with a pair of blue jeans, it’s that kind of effortless style that only Brad Pitt can pull off without even trying.We caught up with the movie’s costume designer, Julian Day - the genius behind the iconic looks in Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman. He told News18 why he picked the shirt:“It was great to dress Brad for F1. The 11.11 shirt worked perfectly for his character, its soft indigo tones helped create the right vibe for him,” Julian said. “Indian brands are so hot right now. The use of natural fabrics and dyes, and the handcrafted quality, fits perfectly into today’s world.”The shirt in question is no ordinary piece. It’s made from handspun, handwoven indigenous cotton and features tiny bead-like motifs in the weave, all done by hand using a technique native to Gujarat’s Surendranagar and Kachchh regions. These tiny motifs, called dana, are inspired by everyday life, with references to things like water, wells, and more. It’s dyed in natural indigo using a 100% fructose-based fermentation method (yep, sugar is involved), making it as eco-conscious as it is beautiful.What’s even cooler? It takes eight skilled artisans over nine hours to make just one shirt like this.Founded by Mia Morikawa and Himanshu Shani, 11.11 / eleven eleven has made a name for itself by staying true to Indian craftsmanship while appealing to a global audience. And now, with Brad Pitt wearing their design on the big screen? Let’s just say the world is paying attention.F1 released globally on June 27, and alongside Brad Pitt, the movie also stars Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon. But if you're watching closely, that handwoven indigo shirt just might steal the scene.
