For the first time in its storied history, Savile Row will be illuminated by festive lights this Christmas!
The suitably stylish installation will be switched on by the fashion icon and longtime Savile Row patron David Gandy at 7.30pm on Thursday November 7th. The street will be closed from 7pm to 9pm and visitors, who can obtain free tickets from eventbrite, will be welcomed into the world’s finest tailoring houses (Savile Row Bespoke Association members Anderson & Sheppard, Cad & The Dandy, Huntsman and Richard James among them) for late night shopping and treated to music and seasonal bites on the Row itself.
David Gandy commented: ‘I am thrilled to celebrate Christmas on the Row this year, and encourage all to come along to enjoy the festivities. This marks a joyous occasion for Savile Row and I am honoured to be a part of the evening.’
Julian Stocks, Acting CEO of The Pollen Estate, of which Savile Row is an integral part, added: ‘’Savile Row’s first ever Christmas lights switch-on is a joyous event for the Row, honouring the heritage and artisanship which make this such a renowned destination for luxury tailoring. The night is an excellent opportunity to showcase the world-class talent which we are home to, and welcome visitors to experience the delights of the Row after dark.’’
The Savile Row Christmas lights will stay in place until Twelfth Night on Monday 6th January.
