A collection of pictures from The English Gentleman at Lord’s, Savile Row’s stunning contribution to London Collections: Men and the reason why it has taken a little longer to get things made and finished on the Row over the last few weeks!

Nineteen Savile Row tailoring houses joined forces with London’s best bootmakers, shirt makers and hatters to present over one hundred outfits showcasing the modern day face of traditional British men’s style. The event was spread throughout the iconic rooms of Lord’s cricket ground, the spiritual home of England’s most quintessentially elegant game.

Clothing on show included Merino Wool and lightweight Cool Wool suits, sports jackets, blazers and flannel waistcoats with trousers. And those modeling the clothes included professional models and friends and customers of Savile Row, including actor Dougray Scott and writer and journalist AA Gill.

"The presentation was an absolute proof that 'clothes maketh the man,” said Mr Gill. “I looked at the 100 boys coming in to hair and makeup in jeans and t-shirts looking cool.  They came in and got changed into something that catwalk fashion has missed out on for some time – elegance and élan."

The event was attended by an international audience of buyers and members of the press. And it was made possible by the support of The Woolmark Company, a staunch supporter of The English Gentleman at London Collections: Men since its inception, and Chivas whisky.

The Savile Row Bespoke Anderson Association members that took part in The English Gentleman at Lord’s were: Anderson & Sheppard, Chittleborough & Morgan; Dege & Skinner; Gieves & Hawkes; Hardy Amies, Henry Poole & Co.; H Huntsman & Sons; Kilgour and Richard James.

Warm thanks should also be paid to the organising committee of Anda Rowland of Anderson & Sheppard, Jo Levin (The Creative Fashion Director of British GQ, who also styled the event), Sammy Aki, Audie Charles, Lloyd Almond, Eleanor Duthie, Holly Roberts and Rob Soar. And special thanks are due to the entire Anderson & Sheppard, which co-sponsored and worked tirelessly on the event.

"It was a celebration of all things cricket,” commented Anda. “But also of Savile Row tailoring and the St James’s shoemakers and shirt makers.

"So it's really about classic men's dressing and idyllic life in the Lord's Pavilion."
