A Barbour jacket, a pair of wellies, Prince of Wales checks and sometimes something completely out of left field, like a cockerel costume.drama series “The Gentlemen,” Daniel Ings’ character Lord Frederick “Freddy” Horniman dresses in all of the above.
“I wanted to create something that really had drama to heighten the whole intensity of that scene because it is funny, but it’s also really traumatic,” she said, referencing a painting of a cockerel she found that added elements from Elton John’s costume when he performed “Crocodile Rock” on “The Muppet Show” at Elstree Studios in 1977.
For the protagonist of the show, Edward “Eddie” Horniman, the new 10th Duke of Halstead played by Theo James, his sartorial journey is an emotional one. Overnight he goes from being a United Nations peacekeeping officer to a duke to a gentleman gangster, swapping his camouflage uniform and plaid shirts for Barbour jackets, car coats and sharp smoking suits.“He comes home as the humble soldier wearing clothes for function. He’s not really thinking about fashion.
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II also featured on her mood board, as did a Steven Meisel editorial for Vogue Italia depicting a Mafia funeral.“The Gentlemen” is a clash of the trending mob wife and old money aesthetics with characters sitting in one camp or the other.
