Connolly Legacy Pieces

‘The greatest luxuries of all will always be comfort and not having to worry' – Sir Terence Conran.

Connolly has always stayed true to its core mission of coupling the rich heritage of classic motor racing with a strong sense of British know-how and European flair. With Isabel’s approach of “less consumerism, more quality”, the brand offers a thoroughly modern take on luxury and provides a welcome and artisanal alternative to PR driven big name behemoths.

Connolly Legacy Pieces

I am very excited to showcase a young photographer William Waterworth and his friend, film director Arthur Studholme, whom I asked this August to describe in images what Connolly feels like, to them. Its purpose, and how their friends would wear it, not as a fashion statement, but as clothes – I wanted their points of reference, a feeling for what the brand is about to them. The first thing William said was "we would like to photograph at an airfield"... and I was hooked! The result is nostalgic, beautiful, and surprising even hopeful.


Letter from youth

Words by Gigi Ettedgui

‘I’ve never felt so distracted, or if I confess, uncreative or indifferent. If hope is the thing with feathers, then mine feel clipped. Life feels stuck in second gear,' so wrote my daughter Gigi to me last night when I asked her to describe how their work made her feel. 'But, watching the film and images from Arthur Studholme and William Waterworth made for Connolly, jumpstarted me when I got home this evening. It is fresh air, a sense of escape, and resonant with how life now feels... ready to take off.'

'For me growing up with Connolly, it has always been a brand that has no code. It is both timeless and ageless. This film is the same... It’s youth, it’s energy, it’s prescience. A boy, a girl, beautifully dressed, just hanging out in an air field. Plane-spotting... sharp, subtle, soft, iconic. Wearing the sharpest tailoring by Marc Audibet, wrapped in the softest knits by Lorraine Acornley lying against an iconic flight bag made in the supplest leather designed by Couli Jobert. It taps into that underlying desire, longing and anticipation when you’re young: to take flight.'

'I admire Connolly, not only for its beautiful products and initiatives, but the way it genuinely embraces the new; whether in its jacket or trousers, whose cut works equally for men and women; it’s lack of wastefulness and it’s design and manufacturing rigour; the philanthropic sale schemes; or the customised upcycling with Frank Akinsete at Portobello. But it’s also always at heart been a collaborative platform for art and design. So thank you for giving young talent a voice. If anything, this film shows the power of a collaboration.'

'Everything about Connolly is trans-generational. In a time where essential and protective measures have to be made to keep our distance, Connolly is showing us how we can stick together in a non virtual world... a nostalgia for times past but an excitement and an understanding about the future.'

'This film isn’t promoting an impossible dolce vita, or trying to be street or “young”, it’s showing another side of Connolly: it’s an essence – beautifully constructed, simple, sexy and... true.'
