In early 2020, GANT's Creative Director Christopher Bastin invited Luke to create a capsule collection of clothing for men and women. Luke flew to Stockholm and spent a fruitful day rooting through the label’s extensive archive, exploring the vintage pieces and collectables stored there. The resulting collection was launched in several European countries in November 2020.

'The collection I have created with Gant takes its inspiration from my home in the English countryside, and how I spend weekends here with friends. Minus wellies, I kept the idea of a varied country wardrobe in mind: heavy tweed coats for stalking through fields, oversized jumpers, 1970s-inspired velvet suits and shimmering silk shirts for candlelit winter dinners.'

'I was inspired by pieces discovered in GANT's archive, but I looked too to my own wardrobe of vintage knitwear and tailoring. The look is very English, practical and elegant. Bold colour combinations and playful touches abound: we made felt patches for attaching to lapels, and shirts are printed or embroidered with sketches of my home and the surrounding countryside.'
