CELEBRATING Dunhill’s 130-year anniversary in all its glory, their autumn/winter 2023 collection, An Ode to Classicism, ignites an ongoing series of refinement and elevation that represents a discreet sense of English style.
This versatile ensemble portrays an ode to what classicism can be reinterpreted today as a central focus rests upon their achieved founding principles. Captured within their House DNA lies the ability for timeless innovation and functionality, British craft, materials, and makers, but most importantly, Dunhill‘s true luxury and finesse.
Under a new strategic direction, we see a clear embodiment of a contemporary design, but one that seems natural to the House and hasn’t been fabricated by trends. Instead, the London studio team have worked effortlessly to create an elegant masculine wardrobe that follows their own set-in-place building blocks, rather than that of others.
This new wave of modernised tailoring reflects an understated sense of form and style that has been elevated by fabrication, fit, and detail. A dedicated, studied approach to sourcing and inspiration is derived from treasured British mills, fabrics, and patterns, making each piece coincide with purposeful expertise.
“To wear a Dunhill suit today is to embody the values of the House. The appreciation of expert care, and craft that is invested in each piece. We have a responsibility to create collections that are not only beautiful but endure seasons and trends.” explains Laurent Malecaze, CEO
The epitome of menswear tailoring is held highly by Dunhill and their excellent craftsmanship, leaving us with lines smarter and sharper than ever, colour palettes that are subtle yet bold enough to boast that sense of expense, and outerwear that you’d never wish to just leave in a cloakroom. There’s an enormous sense of pride that you feel just looking at this collection and once again the Dunhill house prove’s just why they are the masters of timeless design.
