Dunhill’s SS26 Collection: A british Duality Captivates Milan Fashion Week
Milan, Italy – Dunhill’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, presented Sunday evening in a stunning Milanese garden, signals a strong future for the brand, attracting meaningful interest from buyers, particularly from Asia. Creative Director Simon Holloway has successfully blended British heritage with a modern, rebellious edge, crafting “superb clothes that exploit a patrician past with modernist vigor.” [[1]]
The collection draws inspiration from the refined dress codes of the English aristocracy and the “louche, cultivated rebellion” of British rock icons like Bryan Ferry and Charlie Watts. [[2]] Holloway opened with putty-colored suits,cool trenches,and striking split suits,utilizing a variety of fabrics including windowpane,seersucker,and dive materials. [[1]]
A key element of Holloway’s vision is lightness, achieved through the use of Italian materials – a departure from the heavier British fabrics traditionally associated with Savile Row tailoring. This focus on lighter fabrics is “essential,” offering a more comfortable and contemporary feel.
