Year Three: Shirts and off the rack?

I had the opportunity to work with Ferdinand van Alphen (Marketing Svengali) and James Henry (Director of Photography)

to create a ready-to-wear collection inspired by the 1930s and 40s. Our focus was on modern takes of chore jackets, and though we couldn’t quite get Last Pilot off the ground, the process was filled with fantastic moments—especially those long lunches at Eataly, even if we couldn’t always afford them!

The collection blends timeless military aesthetics with contemporary elements, featuring bespoke military uniforms that are handcrafted with care. I still wear some of the military-style shirts, handmade in Manchester, England—proof of the enduring appeal and quality that continues to define our work.
