    150th Anniversary

Through reimagined archival imagery, a spotlight on collections from our three talented designers & our own lookbook editorial, we honour the legacy of Lyle & Scott while pushing its narrative forward. We delve into culturally significant moments, trace the brand's evolution, and highlight iconic prints, encapsulating the essence of Lyle & Scott through Wavey Garms perspective. This project is a tribute to how Lyle & Scott played a culturally impactful part of our lives in the 2000s, it’s about paying homage to the past whilst looking ahead to the future.
GEORGINA HUNT "My take on Lyle & Scott’s heritage is deeply rooted in football and sub cultures and with the brief 'Football for All', I envisioned creating a collection that could celebrate the brand’s rich history and craftsmanship. As I began researching the archives, it was the Golf knits from the 80s that got me so hyped, the mad bright colourways and huge bold argyle patterns impressed me so much, and felt so contrasted to the more muted colours of their current collections."
THIS UNIFORM "My design process in-volved using archive L&S knitwear designs and interpreting them into hand-made appliqué to highlight the high quality craftsmanship and textiles that L&S have pioneered since 1874. Every item for the appliqué is hand measured, cut and sewn which really slows down the process of making clothes - I love how tangible the garments become."
ARUN ROSE "The main objective for me was to incorporate modern and technical innovation whilst maintaining the heritage of the Lyle & Scott brand. The aim was to make the piece accessible and wearable on the terraces whilst maintaining these technical elements."
JONATHAN SAUNDERS After winning plaudits for his innovative use of colour, the celebrated Glaswegian designer Jonathan Saunders kicked off Lyle & Scott’s 140th year by creating an op-art inspired collection referencing Peter Saville’s artworks and the traditional iconography of classic knitwear patterns.

Wavey Garms Presents: The Interview

This film follows our protagonist on his journey to an interview at Lyle & Scott. Upon entering the building, he encounters troublesome youths who tamper with the elevator, sending him on an unexpected trip through the brand's history.

The elevator makes three stops, each showcasing a pivotal era: Golf in the 1970s, the Football Casuals movement in the 80s, and the Indie scene in the early 2000s. Finally, he reaches the top floor where our CEO greets him.

Featuring the likes of Elliot Jay Brown, DJ Beats from People Just Do Nothing, Jack Charles, Wu-Lu & George Lamb.
