Fashion and competitions

In the first week of July 2011, two prominent houses for fashion shopping invited to events with a touch of sportive competition - one in Berlin, the other in London.

The Londoner cult fashion mall 'Harrods' is the host of the pop-up store (opened on 5 July, until September) of the Italian shoe and clothing label Geox in cooperation with Red Bull Racing.

The booties are worn by the current World Champion Sebastian Vettel and his team colleague Mark Webber during the races.
