Actor Stephen Graham Teams Up with Designer Menswear Brand Luke
Wednesday 26th September 2012 | Osh
Edgy British Actor Stephen Graham Fronts Leading Menswear Brand Luke’s Autumn Winter Campaign.
This combination of the intensity of Stephen Graham's image with the slick style of designer brand Luke, is a coming together of forces that were already strong, to form something that is to be reckoned with.
Luke is a British fashion brand that refuses to be ignored (but you won’t know about it unless they want you to). Being design led means that they make clothes that are the perfect amount of fashion savvy style and incredibly wearable, whilst still being incredibly functional. ‘Luke’s designer menswear fashion clothing range has all the components of the modern lad, a gentleman, a working class hero and a bit of a rogue.’
Actor Stephen Graham is quickly becoming one of the most successful actors of recent years. His talent went mostly overlooked in his earlier career; he had parts in Coronation Street, the Bill and low budget films. Graham landed his first major role, as Tommy in Snatch, almost by accident. When he accompanied a friend to an audition for Guy Ritchie Graham was asked if he was next to audition, when he said no, Ritchie told him ‘I like your face’ and invited him to start work on Monday. Now, his on screen personas are easily the baddest in town. The actor himself has been described as a ‘Pussycat’, but he has made his name as men to be feared and revered, through his roles in This is England, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and as Al Capone in hit US series Boardwalk Empire, amongst others. Johnny Depp has said that he would have Stephen Graham in every single one of his films.
Graham is to front the campaign for Luke’s Autumn Winter 2012 collection ‘The United Kingdom of Luke’, with ‘inspiration coming from the style and culture of the early 80’s, [so] Mr Graham was a perfect fit.’ Edgy, stylish and functional come together in this collection; the brand and actor are well matched, oozing charisma, sophistication and cool.
