Coastal Perspective: Yarmouth Oilskins x Hannah Miles

Photographer Hannah Miles has made a name for herself in the world of menswear photography, capturing the effortless intersection of style and lifestyle. With a career spanning eight years, Hannah’s ability to connect with her subjects has brought her work to billboards, print publications, and digital campaigns. On a recent trip, she took some of her favourite pieces from Yarmouth Oilskins to the rugged beauty of Cornwall, where our garments seamlessly fit into the coastal landscape. Based in London, Hannah specialises in fashion, lifestyle, and street style photography, with a particular focus on menswear. Her journey began in New York, where she discovered the art of street style photography, and she has since honed her craft in London, becoming a standout female voice in the industry. Her work blends bold storytelling with an unmistakable aesthetic, capturing the authenticity and spirit of her subjects. Cornwall’s rugged cliffs, windswept beaches, and ever-changing skies offer the perfect backdrop for Yarmouth Oilskins garments. Designed with coastal living in mind, our pieces draw inspiration from traditional workwear but are reimagined for modern life. The combination of timeless design and practical details make them feel perfectly at home against Cornwall’s dramatic scenery. Hannah’s photographs capture not only the garments but also the essence of life by the coast; freedom, exploration, and the quiet moments that connect us to the world around us.  Cornwall's raw elements, shifting weather, and connection to the sea mirror the ethos of Yarmouth Oilskins. Our garments are made for those who live life outdoors, whether navigating the coastline, crafting, or simply enjoying the salty air. Hannah’s photo series is a celebration of the connection between people, place, and clothing. It’s a reminder of why Yarmouth Oilskins continues to craft pieces with purpose - garments that look as good at home as they do out in the wild.
