Church’s has reunited with Theo James for its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign, shot at Goodwood Racing Circuit in West Sussex. Creative director David James and photographer Samuel Bradley return to tell the next chapter in the brand’s story, following Theo James through a day at the track where signature craftsmanship meets a looser idea of dressing up.

The film opens with James perched on a spare wheel in the pit lane, wearing a soft-grain tan Sidley boot and propped up on a vintage racing helmet. A push-start of a vintage Aston Martin requires the Sidbury suede derby in cocoa-powder brown. The Skipton Oxford raises the bar for a trackside picnic, paired with relaxed tailoring. Tea on the starting grid calls for the Stanhope Chelsea boot. The Farsley penny loafer carries him through an encounter with a rather large hitchhiker, a Great Dane, before the day closes with champagne on the podium.

Throughout, the collection is styled to feel elegant rather than strictly formal. The New Formal group anchors the story with the Skipton Oxford, Sidbury derby, Stanhope Chelsea boot, and Farsley loafer, all worn with a lived-in confidence while remaining unmistakably Church’s.
