Belstaff took over the dilapidated Victorian red-brick arches of Southwark's Ewer Street to set the scene for this cold adventure.

Belstaff took the occasion to announce that Sir Ranulph Fiennes - legendary polar pioneer and arguably "the world's greatest living explorer" (Guinness Book of Records) - will star in its latest menswear campaign 'Worship the Ground' shot by Rankin, launching 25 January 2016 .

Levison Wood , contemporary adventurer and Belstaff ambassador, attended as special guest having just returned from his latest challenge of walking the length of the Himalayas. The expedition is currently being aired on TV's Channel 4 and its book was published this week.

Furthermore, Belstaff was chosen as sole partner to celebrate the new 'Zoolander 2' film (premiering 4th Feb, release 14th Feb) during London Collections: Men, with the creation of a special cocktail conjuring up both the cold and Zoolander's classic pose: Blue Steel.

For the first time Belstaff is offering an advance pre-order service on select new collection pieces.
