David Gandy for AUTOGRAPH
If there’s one man you want to look like by the pool in summer, it’s David Gandy. Since launching himself (and his gym guilt-inducing body) onto our screens in 2007 with his eponymous Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue advert, Britain’s most famous male model has since brought his six-pack and impeccable personal style to home shores by teaming up with Marks & Spencer on a string of clothing and underwear campaigns. So it’s good news for fans of his Autograph range as, today, the model launches his first swimwear range for the highstreet – and we’ve got a first look at every pair of shorts from the range.

SUNSPEL
Thomas A Hill founded Sunspel in 1860. His revolutionary idea to make simple, everyday clothing from beautiful fabrics soon established Sunspel as a pioneer in British craftsmanship. Sunspel continues this tradition today.
Sunspel has a long history on stage and screen. We’ve long enjoyed a relationship with costume designer (and Oscar winner) Lindy Hemming, collaborating from her early career at the National theatre right up to the latest James Bond film releases and the development of the Riviera polo. As part of a national celebration of all things British in 2012, the Barbican showcased a unique exhibition exploring the world’s most influential movie series, James Bond. As co-curator along with fashion historian Bronwyn Cosgrave, Lindy Hemming approached us to be a part of this exhibition. She asked us to recreate perhaps one of the most iconic pieces of James Bond Style from the 1965 film, Thunderball. When Sean Connery wore those iconic pale blue shorts, he made Bond, James Bond, into a true cinematic style icon. And it is these shorts Lindy has tasked us to re-make especially for this event.
