Beautiful young men standing in an English country garden, against beds of succulent purple and yellow flag irises. Erdem Moralioglu, with his cinematic eye for glancingly historical biographical references, almost conjured a reincarnation of an everyday scene from the country life of the painter and plantsman Cedric Morris for his summer menswear collection.

It was shot at Benton End in rural Suffolk, Morris’s home from 1939, where he created a microcosm of an artistic avant-garde bohemian life with his lover Arthur Lett-Haines, as well as founding an art school. Lucian Freud was an early pupil.
