Luke Edward Hall’s Chateau Orlando Mixes Whimsy and British Good Taste

Luke Edward Hall is the most modern equivalent of Cecil Beaton that we have. He’s a veritable aesthete who has worked in various mediums, from wall murals to sketchbooks, from fabrics to entire hotels. His clothing venture, Chateau Orlando, is a gateway into the visual lexicography of Hall’s inspiration. From jacquard knits inspired by English castles to Mediterranean holidays, the collection embodies something lacking in much of the design of today: a singular vision that’s wholly unique to the artist, playing with known themes in new and often contrasting ways that just works.
