Step into the world of the gentleman spy and shop the costume-to-collection Kingsman range.
You may be aware that, in 2015, MR PORTER partnered with director Mr Matthew Vaughn to launch exclusive brand Kingsman – a range of impeccably high-end clothing for the modern gentleman, inspired by (and featuring in) that year’s blockbuster smash Kingsman: The Secret Service. (If you were not already aware, consider this a very polite notification.)
Now there’s more: this month sees the release of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the next film in the Kingsman series and, not wanting to disappoint, we at MR PORTER have decided to up the ante when it comes to the clothes. In fact, we’re launching the very first physical shop for the Kingsman brand, which, for a limited period from 8 September, will take over the historic Berry Bros. & Rudd shop in St James’s London – a key location in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
In the Kingsman store, visitors will be able to sample the newly expanded range of Kingsman “costume to collection” clothing, ranging from the brand’s trademark English-style double-breasted suits to a host of new styles produced in honour of the sequel’s new secret organisation: the Statesmen. Expect to see casualwear, tailoring and accessories (the latter of which you can purchase in-store) imbued with classic Americana influences, produced in collaboration with a slate of transatlantic brands from Turnbull & Asser, George Cleverley and Mackintosh, Golden Bear, Todd Snyder and Rocky Mountain Featherbed. In the store, there’ll be a range of original Kingsman artefacts on display, as well as a touch-activated mirror and a digital hub where you can discover the special elements of the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 Kingsman watch.
As you can imagine, our Managing Director, Mr Toby Bateman, is rather pleased about the whole affair. “We are thrilled to be opening our first ever transactional shop with Kingsman, to celebrate our ongoing partnership and to mark the September release of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The costume to collection range remains one of the most unique and pioneering unions of fashion and film, and this shop is just another innovative milestone for the partnership, and for MR PORTER as a whole.”
The Kingsman Shop, 4 St James’s Street, London SW1A 1EF, is open 10.00am – 6.00pm, Monday to Saturday, from 8 September. For more information on Kingsman, click here
