Inspiration 

Farley Chatto’s inspiration for his design was a look back at the 20 years of his involvement with the Cashmere Collection. From being one of the first designers to its curators, it was his lovestruck feeling for the concept and the charitable motivation behind the Collection’s over the years.  

The design was an homage to the four previous designs he created (2004, 2009, 2013 & 2020) and a way to mine from his design heritage and follow the gentleman he first dressed as he developed and grew over the last 20 years. An amalgamation of his design elements and the techniques he developed and learned.
