INTRO TO THE BRIEF – THE IMAGE OF AN ICON

Best-known as the Prime Minister that gave the British Lion its roar during the Second World War, Sir Winston Spencer Churchill was a force in more ways than one. His ceaseless energy his ceaseless energy has been documented throughout every aspect of his life; from speech-writing and party-hopping Edwardian politician to Nobel Prize winner and artwork extraordinaire. Generations of historians have marvelled at the man that many consider the greatest Briton of all time. There was, however, more to Churchill than his savvy war strategies and gravelly voice.

A man who knew the power of dressing for the occasion, Churchill dressed in a manner that was undoubtedly ahead of his time. Some would say that his sense of style was peculiar, others unique; combining to create a notably individual look that visually renders him one of history’s most iconic figures.

Churchill was a man that dressed for the moment, with a style that was aligned to his role as both a keen war strategist and a politician. A love of military uniforms meant he was frequently seen in ‘siren suits’, specially designed to be donned quickly when air raid sirens sounded.

Alongside an intensely practical sense of style, existed his love of the finer things in life. Churchill possessed an extensive parliamentary wardrobe, with suits made by the most luxurious brands on Savile Row, as well as a casual wardrobe for his love of paining and brick wall making. A forward-thinking man, he took his style inspiration from the time in which he existed as one of the most in-demand figures in public office.
