Leclerc makes bold step into fashion with first apparel line CL16
Charles Leclerc has launched CL16, his first official apparel line, via his social media profiles.
The Monegasque announced it in a short video featuring his partner Alexandra Saint-Mieux — whom he is set to marry following their engagement announcement a few weeks ago — and his dog, Leo.
“The brand was founded by Charles Leclerc in Monaco, as a personal expression of his creativity and style beyond racing,” reads the official website, launched alongside the announcement.
“What began as an idea to create fan wear he would proudly wear himself has grown into a considered collection of modern pieces that reflect his style and attention to detail.”
For the Monegasque, this is his second true entrepreneurial venture, following the launch of LEC in 2024, a low-calorie ice cream brand developed in collaboration with the GROM brothers and his manager Nicholas Todt.
