Today, Damian Hurley’s style is distinctive. The long, glossy locks; the love of sharp tailoring; the penchant for a plunging neckline. It’s clear that he has inherited his mother Elizabeth Hurley’s flair for fashion.
But, like all stylish folk in the public eye, his dress sense has evolved over the years. Frequent red carpet appearances with his mother established him as one to watch at an early age. One of his most memorable moments was wearing a blazer inspired by the famous Versace safety pin dress she wore to the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994. The Italian house has, naturally, become one of his go-to names.
“My family has a long history with Versace,” he told Joe Bromley in The Standard’s recent interview. “Donatella has always been so incredibly loyal, kind and gifted me magical pieces from every collection.” Other favourites include Dsquared2 and Fendi.
With the input of high-profile designers, Damian has developed his own signature look, and can be spotted at society events, fashion parties and awards ceremonies. His dressing mantra delivers a refreshingly realistic take on sexy. Think comfy provocateur.
“Look your absolute best, but don’t have a miserable day in something too tight, too short, too whatever so you cannot lift your arms up,” he says. “I try to find one really sexy piece, whether it’s plunging, tight — I live in leather pants — and do it with trainers or my favourite Mickey Mouse hoodie.” It’s certainly an effective combination.
