Founded in 1979 by Yves Charaton, Hartford reimagines US wardrobe staples for a more European sensibility. Using classic fabrics (French linen, cotton from Albini in Italy, Japanese Maruwa shirting), the brand started with a line of men's shirts and has since expanded to include a full men's and women's range.

By now, you have your favourites. As ever Spring Summer is all about fabrication. The perennial cotton jersey and voile group is back in new, and familiar shapes. Shirting, shorts and pants (trousers, not knickers) in cotton linen mix and some beautiful new dresses. Pink, green, cobalt and white are the key colours. We are anticipating Summer.
