Veteran British actor Bill Nighy has collaborated with John Smedley on a new collection, continuing his decades-long partnership with the knitwear label.

Nighy commented 'If you'd told me when I was 17 that I'd be working with John Smedley to design a collection, I'd have arranged to be more cheerful in my early life. I wore John Smedley polos in the 60s and 70s... As I got older, and Mod became Modernism they remained an essential item'.
