Dunhill

'Dunhill, a brand with an impressive legacy of keeping men immaculately and relevantly dressed without forgoing the English gentlemen look. For his second catwalk presentation in Paris, Kim Jones firmly used his references in reverence to Dunhill's history. Realigning British style, he's determined not to take Dunhill far away from its core audience and he did so by keeping the collection traditonal and simple. Gray formal wear was polished and restraint, while casual-day-wear was Riviera-inspired and involved neat navy cardigans and boating-inspired shorts. Evening wear was beautifully tailored and continued the theme of classic understated clothing.'







'Accessories were integral to the presentation and Kim Jones dived into the Dunhill archive to update heritage pieces. Tie pins, watches and pens all made runway débuts and a mirrored briefcase literally shone from the catwalk. Stone-flint specifically, was formed into a cube shaped bag and even into a pair of sunglasses.'






'Jones has masterly moved forward from his own label days of designing sportswear-oriented casualwear. Through Dunhill the designer has been given an international platform to modernise a credible British brand and in doing so he is focusing his creative sensibility with substantial ease.'Morphosis
