Hardy Amies vacatures

Hardy Amies open house to international acclaim in 1946 at 14 Savile Row. By 1951 Hardy Amies was also designing for Princess Elizabeth, subsequently Queen Elizabeth II. An astute businessman, they opened an in-house Boutique in 1952 and diversified into ready-to-wear clothing and mens-wear in 1959. The Hardy Amies name now continues as a mens-wear brand. Amies was successful in business by being able to commercially extract value from their designs, while not replicating their brand to the point of exploitation. Amies was one of the first European fashion brand to venture into the ready-to-wear market when they teamed up with Hepworths in 1959 to design a range of menswear. In 1961, Hardy Amies made fashion history by staging the first men's ready-to-wear catwalk shows, at the Savoy Hotel in London. The runway show was a first on many levels as it was both the first time music was played and for the designer to accompany models on the catwalk.
