The range was designed by Costume Designer Ray Holman for the Thirteenth Doctor’s costume and is now available to fans across the world for the first time. By dressing Gatwa in a classic piece – a chequered suit – the costume design team cleverly avoids any obvious modern-day references. Gatwa’s premiere does not air until December 2023 so it’s important that there are no signifiers that could date easily. The launch coincides with a Royal visit at the Corgi factory in Wales, with Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal arriving to meet staff in her capacity as President of the UK Fashion & Textile Association. Princess Anne was shown the new Doctor Who range as part of this visit and presented with a cashmere Doctor Who scarf as a gift.

Maninder Singh Sahota, Director of Lovarzi, says: “After the success of the Doctor Who Scarf last year, it is great to offer Doctor Who fans some other classic products. We are dedicated to providing fans with fine quality products which I’m certain they’ll love.” You see, The Twelfth Doctor seemingly has a greater passion for fashion than he lets on. While at first glance he’s an older and starker Time Lord, at heart(s) he really wants to leave an impression. Believe it or not, he’s, even more, fashion conscious than the other modern Doctors. Ten had brown and blue suits, and Eleven had different colour bow ties and coats. But Twelve out-dresses them all in terms of sheer numbers. In Series 8 alone there’s a costume change almost every episode, and even more variations were added in Series 9. There’s likely, even more, coming in Series 10, too – but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.First seen: Last Christmas Last seen: Sleep No More Doctor Who Christmas Special – Last Christmas, written by Steven Moffat: Doctor Who (PETER CAPALDI) – (C) BBC – Photographer: David Venni Jo Grant wore jumpers in rose, ( TV: Terror of the Autons) eggplant, ( TV: The Sea Devils) and teal.

Bright knitwear was also all over the autumn/winter 2022 menswear runways including Etro and Versace. Elsewhere, Harry Styles regularly wears colourful knitwear with tailoring from Gucci. For fans of the Seventh Doctor, a replica question mark jumper is a must – originally designed by Ken Trew in April 1987, for McCoy’s debut in Time and the Rani, and worn until 1989. Perfect the look by teaming the jumper with a detailed silk scarf and 100% cotton hanky – also released in this range. Gatwa has previously mentioned he would have a say in what his version of the Doctor wore. Off screen, the Sex Education star is known for his bold approach to fashion. A regular on the front row, he has been pictured in bright prints, oversized suiting and even pink silky pyjama sets from Prada. Speaking to the Radio Times in 2017, Ray Holman, the show’s costume designer at the time, gave an insight into the styling process. “It’s a massively collaborative process between the actor, costume designer and showrunner,” he said. “But, ultimately, we’re all trying to do the right thing for the actor and script.Rose Noble wore an emerald green jumper when she met the Fourteenth Doctor, Beep the Meep, and some Wrarth Warriors.

In burgundy and red, and made from acrylic chenille, it was first seen in The Leisure Hive (1980) and was designed by June Hudson under instructions from producer, John Nathan-Turner. The scarf was utilised extensively until the Fourth Doctor’s swansong, Logopolis. The Master's UNIT incarnation wore a white jumper during his first encounter with Sea Devils. ( TV: The Sea Devils) His spy incarnation also wore a copy of the Seventh Doctor's jumper when stealing the Doctor's body. ( TV: The Power of the Doctor) After the success of their Fourth Doctor Scarf, Lovarzi, the UK’s leading online scarf retailer, is releasing five more unique Doctor Who products to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary.

Finally, the reversible Dalek scarf is an entirely unique design, initially available in two inter-woven colour combinations: blue and light grey or grey and charcoal. The scarf is made in Italy from finest quality wool and modal, resulting in a very fine finish. Zoe Heriot wore an eggplant jumper when reuniting with Jamie McCrimmon on the Memory TARDIS. ( TV: The Mind Robber) My secret to designing a new Doctor is dressing the actor appropriately – doing the right thing for that person. It’s all about making them feel good.” Even just for its sudden influence and longevity, this costume deserves a high ranking on the list. But there’s one more outfit that pips it to the post… 1. “Red Velvet”

Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi There’s always one question people ask as soon as a new Doctor is announced. What will their costume look like? Something familiar, or something new entirely? Unsurprisingly, the situation surrounding Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor was no different. But while we did get an official costume reveal, that was only the beginning of the story. The only contemporary hint to Gatwa’s suit are the slightly cropped trousers and gentle oversized fit to the coat.

Okay, this one’s much easier! For the Seventh Doctor’s footwear, you want a decent pair of two-tone Brogues, preferably in brown and cream. A simple search online should point you in the right direction. Bear in mind, though, that as the Seventh Doctor you’ll be spending a lot of your time running across desert wastes, so be on the look-out for something comfy and durable. Question mark umbrella Luxury brand Corgi and BBC Studios have today launched the range of Doctor Who knitwear worn by Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor in the latest series of the BBC show.
