Harry Stedman was born in 1934 and is father and grandfather to the owners of the business. A great traveller, Harry soaked up the culture and style of the many countries he visited after escaping Liverpool to join the army. This brand is a celebration of his life.
As a reflection of Harry's experiences, the label fuses many influences, particularly US and British from the fifties and sixties, to produce very modern classics. The clothes are made in the UK, US or Japan and elsewhere; their provenance is made clear on their website.
The brand was kind enough to approach me to take part in a photoshoot. Like many businesses, it sees the potential of the older market and its styles suit men from their twenties upwards. Always happy to show brands and their customers how clothes look on the older man, I worked with photographer Nick Maroudias in the lovely old streets of Roupell Street near Waterloo Station in London. We aimed to reflect the timelessly classic yet very contemporary look that Harry Stedman embodies. I hope you feel we've succeeded.
Everything I'm wearing in the images is available from Harry Stedman except where mentioned otherwise. To support this small British brand, visit Harry Stedman.
