With new Netflix series 'The Gentlemen' taking the streaming world by storm, audiences find themselves captivated not only by the riveting storyline but also by the meticulous attention to detail in the wardrobe of its characters. Among them, Lady Sabrina, played by Joely Richardson, epitomises regal elegance, requiring the most luxurious wardrobe for a role steeped in British nobility.
The series delves into the intricate world of high society and aristocratic lineage, with a criminal twist, with Lady Sabrina's wardrobe serving as a testament to the commitment of the stylists in capturing the essence of British aristocracy. From the outset, every garment is carefully curated to reflect Lady Sabrina's esteemed status within the peerage, with a keen eye for tradition and luxury.
With luxurious accessories playing a crucial role in completing any regal look, costume designer LouLou Bontemps looked to traditional British brands including several key pieces from the Clare Haggas silk scarf collection.
Rich country heritage is at the heart of the brand, with a promise of immaculate craftsmanship, innovation and undisputed reliability, with each and every accessory entirely British designed and made. With Clare’s original artwork inspired by the picturesque landscapes of the British countryside that feature throughout the series: the subject of her pieces perfectly mirrors the heritage of the countryside setting.
With designs such as ‘Heads or Tails’: made up of some of Clare’s most famous game bird paintings; through to the impressive ‘Hold Your Horses’: a collection rearing stallions: each scarf chosen for the series exudes the sophistication and refinement required for a Duchess: the highest rank outside of the royal family. With shooting and equine pursuits deeply ingrained in the fabric of British heritage, it’s no wonder Clare’s pieces were the perfect match.
As audiences immerse themselves in the world of 'The Gentlemen,' they are transported to a realm where peerage, loyalty, and regal elegance reign supreme. Through Lady Sabrina's wardrobe, viewers are invited to marvel at the enduring allure of old money aesthetic - a bygone era of sophistication and refinement that continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
