Quintessentially British brand Hawes & Curtis has teamed up with Anglo-Italian TV personality Mark Francis Vandelli to create a summer capsule collection that merges British tailoring with Italian flair.

Comprising 38 pieces designed by the Made in Chelsea star, the collection steams cool Italian style through unique silhouettes and prints, while traditional British tailoring gives the pieces a timeless feel.

"My first collection with Hawes & Curtis is essentially an extension of my own dressing room. It perfectly summarises my style; sharp tailoring, distinctive fabrics and close attention to detail,” says Mark Francis Vandelli, who was chosen by the brand for his “strong passion for design and excellent craftsmanship.”

The pieces are designed to work with men's existing wardrobes, complementing a look that suits the city as well as the Riviera. “There's an outfit for every occasion, and subtle touches such as mother of pearl buttons and hand stitched silks that make every piece unique."

The range includes summer blazers, a chic white suit, textured weave shirts, a signature print shirt, exquisite silk ties and pocket squares, gold and silver cufflinks and mother of pearl collar bones.

The collection is available online and in stores.
