MR PORTER, the online destination for men’s style, and acclaimed filmmaker of the Kingsman franchise, Mr. Matthew Vaughn, are pleased to announce a new costume-to-collection collaboration from luxury menswear label, Kingsman. Titled “Argylle by Kingsman”, the line has been developed with inspiration from characters in Mr. Vaughn’s forthcoming film, Argylle, in cinemas beginning 2 February.
Argylle is a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller. Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.
Accompanied by Aidan (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur. The film is directed and produced by Vaughn (Kingsman franchise, Kick-Ass) from a screenplay by Mr. Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman). The film is produced by Messrs. Vaughn, Adam Bohling (Kingsman franchise), David Reid (Kingsman franchise) and Fuchs. Argylle is distributed in partnership with Universal Pictures.
Argylle by Kingsman – The 16-piece collection includes a green velvet nehru jacket, black trousers and a matching navy pinstripe nehru jacket and trouser suit inspired by the character Argylle, played by Mr. Cavill, alongside a leather and corduroy bomber jacket inspired by the character Aidan, played by Mr. Rockwell, and a beige herringbone safari jacket and trouser inspired by Mr. Jackson’s character, Alfred Solomon. The collection also features two Kingsman + London Undercover umbrellas, two knitwear pieces and five pairs of socks in a variety of colourways, all donned in the Argylle diamond-print.
Furthermore, MR PORTER will also debut two limited-edition timepieces from the Bremont x Argylle watch collection including The Argylle, based on a traditional Bremont Solo 43 and The Argylle Jet, based on a Bremont U-2. Both styles will launch on MR PORTER in February.
The “Argylle by Kingsman” collection follows a similar costume-to-collection model as MR PORTER’s previous capsule collaborations with Mr. Vaughn’s films, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kingsman: The Golden Circle and The King’s Man. In 2019 MR PORTER launched the “Rocketman by Kingsman” collection inspired by the wardrobe of character John Reid played by Mr. Richard Madden in Rocketman.
