Sir Hardy Amies founded the house in 1946. He was one of the pioneers of the ready-to-wear menswear market in the 1950s and 1960s.
Amies was commissioned to create high-profile specialized clothing for customers, including the British World cup and Olympic teams, Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Queen Elizabeth II.
The fashion house has changed ownership several times throughout its history and, for a time, was the property of Fung Capital.
In 2018, the company went into administration for a second time. The Savile Row store was closed in March 2019 and Hackett London took over the space in June as its flagship store.
