The Gucci Tailoring FW18 campaign, to us, was so iconic in terms of British fashion campaigns, capturing so perfectly the essence of British youth culture with a sense of community we often find in the North, despite the campaign being shot in North London. See Gucci's 'Tailoring At The Chippy' campaign below.

An old English town is a perfect backdrop for any photo - and what's more typically British than being accompanied by a wiry, old pup that looks like it responds to the name Jasper or Biffy?
We all loved Harry's appearance with Gucci, lapping up each detail of the 5-image-shoot.
Upon further investigation, we think we finally understand why - this campaign was truly authentic down to each small aspect. Us Brits immediately latched on to the neighbourhood favourite chippy, the kids from up'road and the bleak, orderly, brick houses - the fact that Harry, the animals and a "Man with a Van" poster features, just cements this inner Britishness that resonates with us as British Gucci-lovers.
Watch as we at Blur. pay homage, with our version of British youth culture captured below; picture hungover-teen-being-forced-to-walk-the-dog-the-morning-after vibes. Using locations we were way too familiar with in our youth, for the wrong reasons, we were able to present the nostalgia of a real British childhood.
Did you really grow up in Britain if you didn't get slaughtered at a random house party and sleep in the park for a few hours before taking a tour of all the takeaways in your town?
Pics or it didn't happen? We've got you covered.
