At Goodwood Motor Circuit, Theo James brings Church’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection into focus, pairing British craftsmanship with vintage motoring and a modern take on formalwear

Long known as a British icon of refined footwear, Church’s has built its reputation on heritage and modern craftsmanship. For Fall/Winter 2026, the house reaffirms that legacy through its core silhouettes: Oxfords, Derbies, Chelsea boots and loafers, presented in a new campaign direction.

British actor and brand ambassador Theo James returns as the sole subject, photographed by Samuel Bradley. For this chapter, he heads to the British countryside and Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex. Creative Director David James dresses Theo in a modern wardrobe that nods to formalwear while introducing the New Formal collection.

Against the backdrop of the track and a vintage Aston Martin, Theo embodies a versatile, contemporary gentleman, at times poised on the podium like a moto champion and at others framed with quiet precision in Church’s iconic shoes. Across all frames, he keeps Church’s craftsmanship front and center, with a presence that is equally compelling.
