“Our customers are clearly responding to the investment we have made in
people, product, brand and infrastructure. I am also excited at the
opportunity to further raise awareness of the Reiss brand by launching an
autumn/winter ’19 campaign across a series of marketing initiatives, some
of which are a first for the brand, starting in the heart of London with
Piccadilly Lights.”

When discussing the inspiration behind the campaign, which includes
several iconic London locations, including The Barbican, Southbank, Old
Marylebone Town Hall and the British Transport Museum, Reiss’ creative
director, James Spreckley, said: “AW19 evokes a cinematic, euphoric view of
London’s creativity, art and culture. A celebration of the city’s
unexpected backdrops, we wanted the campaign to showcase portraits of
people in their truest, most confident forms. We call it, ‘beauty
untamed’.”
