Next up on the promo tour of David Gandy’s new capsule collection launch with Marks & Spencer is an interview with British GQ. Talking about the design of the underwear, David explains, “I wanted to keep things very subtle – I didn’t want loads of branding over everything. So I brought in a houndstooth, a very traditional pattern, but not many people have used it for underwear that I know of. That’s a bit of a nod to my love of traditional tailoring. The houndstooth is on the inside of the underwear band. And we’ve put it in on the inside of the pockets for the sleepwear and loungewear. And then we’ve used it all-over for the dressing gown, which is a very old school design with traditional piping.”

David, who appears in the collection’s campaign, photographed by Mariano Vivanco, is also quick to point out that he doesn’t regularly model underwear. He refers to his Dolce & Gabbana ads, which were actually speedos. “Well, the [Dolce & Gabbana] Light Blue image is from eight years ago, back in 2006. And other than that I’ve only done the Dolce underwear campaign in 2009, so actually there have only been two photo shoots of me in underwear and that’s it. It’s not something I’ve done a lot of, it’s just that that Light Blue image has become so well known.” Read more at GQ-Magazine.co.uk.
