Vintage Aston Martins, a podium celebration, and an unexpected Great Dane named Betty set the stage for the latest collection. The story reflects a fresh perspective on English dressing, pairing the house’s renowned footwear with relaxed tailoring and knitwear that spans formal and everyday occasions.

The campaign also introduces Church’s New Formal group, a collection that rethinks classic dress shoes for the modern wardrobe. James wears key styles including the Sidley boot, Sidbury suede Derby, Skipton Oxford, Stanhope Chelsea boot, and Farsley penny loafer.

The campaign unfolds from the pit lane to the winner’s podium. Oxfords, Derbies, Chelsea boots, and loafers receive updated finishes and softer proportions, reinforcing Church’s commitment to craftsmanship while extending the shoes’ range within contemporary style.

Theo James previously fronted the label’s spring 2026 campaign, when Church’s took him to an English country estate for a quieter, more domestic take on the same house codes.
