The Full Lineup, Just Like the Savile Row Flagship



Sir Hardy Amies brought a fresh perspective to Savile Row in the 1940s and continued to lead British couture as the dressmaker for Queen Elizabeth II. His fashion house is celebrated for its unique approach, blending the fluid techniques of ladies' haute couture with the precision of bespoke tailoring.

This pop-up shop will feature 50 styles from the 2014-15 Autumn/Winter collection, themed around "Contemporary" and "Military," available first in Japan. While retaining quintessential British details like structured shoulders and peaked lapels, the collection showcases jackets with beautiful, compact silhouettes and striking coats, offering the full range found at the London flagship.










This season's collection centers on the essence of menswear as articulated by Sir Hardy Amies in his 1964 book, "ABC of Men's FASHION"—still considered a style bible in British menswear. The result is British premium wear that combines functionality, contemporary design, and stylishness.

During the pop-up period, customers who purchase items totaling over 100,000 yen will receive a special edition HARDY AMIES iPhone case.
