Behind the Scenes – Summer 2016 Photoshoot

For Summer 2016, Hawes & Curtis has created a campaign inspired by its rich heritage and its distinguished clients. From the Duke of Windsor and Lord Mountbatten to Cary Grant and Fred Astaire, Hawes & Curtis has been dressing the best since 1913.

This season Hawes & Curtis presents three distinct collections to see you through the summer. The carefully curated looks were put together by our stylist and designer who wanted to create a selection of ready-to-wear outfits that nod to our heritage whilst being contemporary and fresh. The result is a selection of looks designed to cater for the modern man and woman – whether they are attending a glamorous garden party, gala or enjoying a relaxing weekend by the coast.

The photoshoot took place at the five star Luton Hoo Hotel. The stunning country estate evokes the quintessential British summer and lifestyle with its grand manor house and manicured gardens. TV presenter, actor and best-selling author, David Blakeley, returned as the face of our S16 campaign. Creative director Russell Weave and photographer Richard Allen did a fantastic job capturing the essence of the great British summer.
