Fashion: Hancock’s cutting edge classics

With heritage at its heart, British label Hancock uses traditional techniques to create covetable raincoats and accessories that are bang up to date. The duo behind the label, Daniel Dunko and Gary Bott, took inspiration for the name from rubber industry founder Thomas Hancock, who developed vulcanised rubber clothing with Charles Macintosh in the 1800s. Chief executive Daniel Dunko, 51, explains why tradition has its place in the modern world as the label launches its bright and beautiful SS17 collection.
