Men’s style online destination, MR PORTER, and acclaimed filmmaker of the Kingsman franchise, Matthew Vaughn, have announced a new costume-to-collection collaboration from luxury menswear label, Kingsman. Titled “Argylle by Kingsman”, the line has been developed with inspiration from characters in Vaughn’s forthcoming film, Argylle, in cinemas 2 February.
Argylle is a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller. Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which centre on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.
Argylle by Kingsman – The 16-piece collection includes a green velvet nehru jacket, black trousers and a matching navy pinstripe nehru jacket and trouser suit inspired by the character Argylle, played by Henry Cavill, alongside a leather and corduroy bomber jacket inspired by the character Aidan, played by Sam Rockwell, and a beige herringbone safari jacket and trouser inspired by Samuel L Jackson’s character, Alfred Solomon. The collection also features two Kingsman + London Undercover umbrellas, two knitwear pieces and five pairs of socks in a variety of colourways, all donned in the Argylle diamond-print.
Furthermore, MR PORTER will also debut two limited-edition timepieces from the Bremont x Argylle watch collection including The Argylle, based on a traditional Bremont Solo 43 and The Argylle Jet, based on a Bremont U-2.
