In the world of acting, as in life, mistakes are inevitable. For Lucas Aurelio, Ben Starr, and Clifford Samuel, learning from those mistakes has shaped not only their performances but their approach to their craft. These three actors, each carving their own path in film and television, share more than just screen time; they share an understanding of the power of experience, refinement, and evolution. With the quality control of our ateliers in Italy, any even miniature mistakes deem the product as unworthy for our clients, but perhaps with the actors in Brett Johnson’s AW24 collection, the pieces just opened them up to speak to the quiet luxury of personal growth and self-assured style? Or something like that anyway.
Lucas Aurelio, fresh from filming his latest scenes for Bridgerton, exemplifies casual refinement in a 100% cashmere zip-up hoodie. Between perhaps magazine shoots and Netflix sets, Lucas has to master the art of balancing work and relaxation. The baby-cable design of his hoodie, made from the softest cashmere out of Italy, offers the perfect blend of luxury and ease to be worn on set or enjoying a slow Sunday, the intricate texture of this hoodie proves that comfort and style are never mutually exclusive.
For Ben Starr, known for his roles in Jamestown and You, simplicity is key and he brings his signature understated elegance to the forefront. Wearing tailored trousers that combine the sophistication of formalwear with the relaxed comfort of joggers, Ben shows that luxury often lies in the details, with Brett’s signature cutaway cuff and the plush wool of the trousers highlight that timeless pieces never need to shout.
Clifford Samuel, actor and children’s author, embodies this same ethos of quiet confidence in his camel-colored cashmere bomber jacket. A modern twist on the classic bomber - originally designed for fighter pilots - this piece is crafted with a deconstructed herringbone weave and finished with a luxurious Castorino collar. Clifford’s craft as a Shakespearean actor sees him act in modern interpretations of historic stories that are still entertaining audiences today - much like this bomber, blending tradition and innovation. What was once a symbol of military functionality and later, streetwear rebellion, it is elevated into the world of high-end menswear, with Brett’s attention to detail.
The shared experiences of Lucas, Ben, and Clifford reflect a key lesson in both acting and life: growth comes from learning, and refinement from reflection. In their video, they speak candidly about how embracing mistakes has shaped them - not just as actors, but as individuals.
Whether it’s Lucas in his relaxed cashmere, Ben in his tailored joggers, or Clifford in his elevated bomber, these actors showcase a collection that, much like their craft, is defined by attention to detail, a respect for tradition, and a constant pursuit of excellence. This AW24 collection, available exclusively at Harrods Menswear, mirrors the journey these actors have taken - where every stitch, like every lesson learned, contributes to something quietly remarkable
