BILL NIGHY / MARGARET HOWELL

A national treasure, a style icon and a thoroughly nice chap to boot.

In 1812 the area around the South End of Bond St, Saville Row, and what became Regent St, was the playground of Beau Brummell. In 2012 – in an often all too casual world that’s seemingly dominated by man made fibres – it’s nice to see that it still has its Dandys.
