Behind The Lens – Capturing Autumn 2026
Few cities inspire affection quite like New York. It is ambitious, demanding and endlessly energetic, yet beneath the pace lies an unmistakable romance. For generations, writers, artists, filmmakers and designers have been drawn to its unique ability to make everyday moments feel cinematic.
New York, I Love You
Our Autumn collection takes inspiration from A New York Love Story. Not through grand gestures or polished perfection, but through the quiet ease of two people moving through the city together. Walking beside the Reservoir, cutting across Central Park, meeting on the steps of the Guggenheim or lingering beneath the arches of Bethesda Terrace. There is a timeless elegance to these places. They have witnessed countless stories unfold, while remaining entirely themselves.
Like the city, great style is never static. It evolves, adapts and gathers character over time. New York understands that instinctively. Perhaps that is why the world continues to fall in love with it, again and again.
The Collection
There is a renewed sense of purpose in the air for Autumn. People return from Summer with fresh ambition, cities find their rhythm again and wardrobes start to work a little harder.
For this collection, we looked to New York in the 1990s. Not the New York of postcards, but a city where style, culture and ambition existed in perfect balance. A place where tailoring sat naturally alongside utility, where elegance never felt overworked, and where confidence came from simplicity rather than excess.
That spirit shaped every part of this collection. Relaxed silhouettes, oversized proportions and rich autumnal colours combine with exceptional fabrics from some of the world’s finest mills, including Carnet, Delfino, Drago, Holland & Sherry, Loro Piana, Subalpino and Zegna. The result is tailoring designed to move naturally through everyday life with ease.
‘New York gave this collection its energy. The pace, the ambition, the elegance and the romance. Every image captures a moment, every garment was designed to belong within it. Some cities never leave you. New York is one of them.’

On Location
We let the city set the scene. From the arch at Washington Square to the streets beneath the Manhattan Bridge and the brownstone steps in between, each location frames two people moving through New York together.
Nothing was over-styled. Federico and Eme wore the collection as it is meant to be worn, walking, pausing and simply enjoying the city. Photographer Chris Doe captured those moments as they unfolded, letting the clothes and the setting speak for themselves.
Every piece was custom made by Clements+Church, with Josh Gear as tailor for the shoot.
