Did you know that Idris Elba is a fashion designer? He is, sort of. Idris worked with the label Superdry to create a 250-piece collection for the Fall 2015 season. These photos are from a launch event last night in London, and I’m sort of assuming that Big Driis is wearing Idris Elba + Superdry clothing. According to THR, the collection features “knitwear, fine thread tailored shirting, washed denim and luxury sportswear in a cool color palette of graphite grays, midnight and cobalt blues and jet black.” That’s sort of hot, because Idris knows his wheelhouse. While he looks incredible in suits, he enjoys mixing it up with sportswear and knits and he could basically wear a burlap sack and we would all be drooling. Mm… sack.

The collection will be sold in Superdry stores, some department stores and online starting in November of this year. Idris worked with the designers James Holder and Julian Dunkerton first hand. This was Idris’s statement:

“I like to look and feel great in what I wear and, like Superdry, quality and fit are important to me. Having the opportunity to collaborate on a clothing range has been an amazing experience.”

Hot. And of course they released a preview of the ad campaign and you know this fine-ass man is the face (and BODY) of the campaign. Bless him. I needed this today. To be fair, I need Idris EVERY DAMN DAY.
