Apart from sponsoring the team and manufacturing the driver’s uniforms, we also provide a line of Infiniti Red Bull Racing products available for men, women, and juniors on our online store*.

Also,  Webber has modeled for us alongside his Red Bull racing partner Sebastian Vettel and other celebrities in our various campaigns.

As you may know, we at Pepe Jeans recently hosted our “Pepe Jeans Experience” party at store locations in the United Kingdom, Poland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and France, and last Friday we moved the party over to some of our stores in Spain! Locations included Barcelona and Madrid among other cities, and at the parties we had DJ’s, cocktails, a 30% in-store discount, a Rimmel London makeup session, and much more!

The stores in Spain hosted the event from 8 p.m. until midnight, and during this time we relayed the live event via Twitter and Instagram through the #PepeExperience hashtag. Check out some of our pictures from the event!

Vettel Claims First Montreal Victory

By Jose Bassols
June 10th, 2013

Sebastian Vettel claimed his first Canadian Grand Prix victory in Montreal, with Fernando Alonso of Ferrari in second place and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton placing third, and finally with Mark Webber coming in at fourth place.

The Infiniti Red Bull Racing driver was extremely pleased with this race’s win, since the closest he had come to this position was second place back in 2011. He finished with a comfortable 14 second lead over Alonso.

From starting at pole position until the end of his first stint, Vettel felt he was in firm control of the race and by then had a steady three-second lead over Hamilton. The only uncertainty was with his brief contact with a circuit wall when trying to get away from the field, and later on lap 52 he was forced to cut the first chicane as he carried too much pace into the corner.

Mark spoke of his race and stated that he had a good start, but lost momentum when initially trying to maneuver around Williams’ Valtteri Bottas and Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg. He later lost time when backmarker Giedo van der Garde of Caterham collided with him on the hairpin on lap 37, and with the damage sustained on his front wing, Webber was forced to settle in at fourth place while Alonso took his lead.

Following the top four, Rosberg finished at fifth place, with Toro Rosso’s Jean-Eric Vergne coming in at sixth. Force India’s Paul Di Resta made a comeback from his starting position of 17th place and climbed his way up to seventh by using a one-stop strategy. Ferrari’s Felipe Massa also progressed well through the race by fighting his way to eighth place after having started at 16th.

Congratulations to all Infiniti Red Bull Racing team on a great event!

Recently, we here at Pepe Jeans have been celebrating the 40th Anniversary of our brand by receiving customised gifts from our friends like Txema Yeste and Sebastian Vettel, but now it’s time to show you what we have been working on for this special year!

We attended the second Fashion & Bloggers Date by SModa at the Palecete de Pastrana in Madrid, which is an event specifically catered for brands like Pepe Jeans to showcase their new trends and network with blogging icons like Pelayo, Miranda Makaroff, Cup Of Couple and Lady Addict, among others. Since these bloggers create looks that are imitated by their thousands of followers, they are quickly paving the way for new fashion trends, and is exactly why SModa wanted to continue with this amazing networking event. 

 

 

In celebration of our birthday, our stand at the venue launched the exclusive 40th Anniversary Capsule Collection, with special jeans, t-shirts, and trainers made just for you! The t-shirts are priced at 19€ and the jeans are at 73€, and this is our original way of paying homage to the founding year of our brand, 1973. Pretty clever, aren’t we? They will be available for purchase in mid-August, but either way check out some of the cool pictures from the event!

Txema Yeste wishes Pepe Jeans a Happy 40th Anniversary!

By Jemimah Pico
June 6th, 2013

The birthday wishes keep arriving here at Pepe Jeans, and the latest is from our photographer Txema Yeste! As we saw in the last post about Ricardo Cavolo, we have sent many of our friends, including Txema, a pair of Pepe jeans and lots of tools to customise them as a thank you for all of the support we have received over the years.

Txema is a renowned photographer and artist with an incredible passion for what he does. He has worked with numerous big brands in fashion magazines and celebrities, like Dior and Armani, and he has been a major contributor to our brand for many years now. One particular contribution is the denim catalogue from 2008, and we can see some similarities with his artistry in the gift he created just for us at Pepe Jeans! He certainly knows his denim, which is exactly why we loved the red twist he put into our jeans, and how he always manages to set himself apart in his creativity.

His uniqueness and fresh perspective in the fashion world is what we strive for at Pepe Jeans, and is exactly why he has joined the Friends of Pepe Jeans club.

Thank you, Txema, for your wonderful gift and dedication to Pepe Jeans over the years. Take a look at what he designed just for us!

Vettel and Webber take the podium at Monaco Grand Prix

By Jose Bassols
May 27th, 2013

Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber took second and third place at the Monaco Grand Prix, finishing the race only behind winner Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg.

Both Infiniti Red Bull Racing drivers were pleased with the event, since their final positions still provided positive team results with the least amount of time for both of their cars in the pit lane during this race. The team’s primary focus was to utilize the one-stop strategy and save the tyres, which proved to be effective in their overall results.

Ferrari’s Felipe Massa lost control and eventually collided with the barriers on the run to Turn One, which allowed Vettel and Webber to take the lead over Lewis Hamilton and rise from third and fourth place to their finishing positions.

163377282KR00037_F1_Grand_P-1

The second half of the race was interrupted by a red flag on lap 46 and further collisions between Marussia’s Max Chilton and Pastor Maldonado, with the Williams driver being pitched into the barriers as well. After the debris was cleared, both Vetter and Webber seamlessly maintained their positions throughout the final laps.

McLaren’s Sergio Perez sustained heavy front-end damage and eventually pulled over, allowing Adrian Sutil to claim fifth place ahead of Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso. Toro Rosso’s Jean-Eric Vergne took a deserved eighth place and Paul Di Resta finished in ninth place for Force India.

Congratulations to all Infiniti Red Bull Racing team!
