In its new Autumn Winter 2023 campaign, dunhill showcases its unique heritage and distinct British image. Lensed by photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez and styled by Tom Guinness, classic portraits of a debonair cast – faces from dunhill past and present – juxtapose still life photographs that examine the alchemy of innovation, refinement, and hedonism cultivated over the past 130 years.
On the 12th September 2023, the house hosted a special dinner at The Royal Hospital Chelsea’s Great Hall to celebrate its 130-year anniversary, with a remarkable dinner hosted by Laurent Malecaze, CEO, and Simon Holloway, Creative Director of dunhill. The guest list included James McAvoy, David Harewood OBE, Russell Tovey, and many more.
Presenting a collection built for all occasions, Axel Hermann, Hamid Onifade, Henry Kitcher, Hugh Laughton-Scott, Kamui T, Pratik Shetty and Will Chalker feature the fundamentals of a modern wardrobe; elevated, versatile, discreet. Imbued with a sense of rakish style, layered silhouettes reflect the new wave of fluidity and ease mastered by the House. Notions of adaptability and flexibility percolate throughout, with luxuriant casualwear and tailoring separates that can be worn and re-worn in alternatively styled ways. From cut to cloth, day to eveningwear, the House’s tailoring finesse reflects its exacting standards and lineage in refined British craftsmanship.
Windowpane checks harmonise with rich block colour and materiality, including Vicuña – the coveted fine wool of a small camelid that roams the South American Andes. Its super-soft, rarefied hair fibres are ten times lighter than cashmere, exceptionally warm and will be introduced as part of a new collection later this year. Featuring an exquisitely-made top coat, blazer, blouson and zip-through knit in a deep brown hue, this extraordinary Vicuña capsule promises something truly luxurious, truly inspiring. Shaped by modernity and nurtured by classicism, this season’s campaign celebrates the hallmarks of the House; style, innovation, and excellence, perfected over 130 years of storied history.
