AUTUMN / W INTER 2016

CHAINS + CRANES

Cinnamon, myrrh, and mace you showed,Golden Paradise birds that glowed.

More cigars than a man could count,And a billion cloves in an odorous mount,

And choice port wine from a bright glass fount.You showed, for a most delightful hour,

The wealth of the world and London’s power.

John Masefield, Poet Laureate from 1930 until 1967, after visiting London’s docks.

OUR AW16 CHAINS + CRANES COLLECTION SOUNDS ITS HORN HARD, HOISTS THE RED ENSIGN AND PUTS ITS ENTICINGLY EXOTIC CARGO AND

CORRESPONDINGLY COSMOPOLITAN CREW IN UNDER A SILVER-GREY SKY AT LONDON’S DOCKS IN THE MIDWINTER OF 1935.

HEART OF IT, THE COMMERCE COURSING LIFEBLOOD OF ALBION AND EMPIRE ALIKE.

CHOCK-FULL CONTAINER SHIPS WAS THE DOMAIN OF THE DOUGHTY DOCKERS, A TIGHT-KNIT, STREET-SAVVY BAND OF MEN FROM THE CAPITAL’S PROUD EAST END.

THIS IS A BOLD, SHARP-EDGED COLLECTION THAT CELEBRATES LONDON AT ITS MOST POWERFUL AND ALL-ENCOMPASSING, A GREAT, CLANKING SALT-CORRODED

AND COLOUR-RICH HIVE OF INDUSTRY AND GLAMOUROUS INTRIGUE.
