Smythson celebrates its British heritage with a new campaign featuring English actors James Norton and Vanessa Kirby. Spending a day in a London townhouse, Norton was photographed by Paul Wetherell. Fresh off the success of BBC’s popular series, War and Peace, where he played Prince Andrei, Norton goes contemporary for Smythson’s spring-summer 2016 advertisements.
Mirroring the sentiments of the brand and the current success of English actors, Norton shares, “Out of the UK at the moment come these incredibly exciting films and actors and writers and directors. It’s a mixture between being progressive and modern, exciting and classy, traditional and having immense heritage and that’s what Smythson is.”
