Hardy Amies London (Limited) was a UK-based fashion house specializing in modern luxury menswear.

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.[citation needed]

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.[1][2]
