dunhill, the foremost British luxury menswear House, is proud to introduce ‘Eveningwear’ – the fourth and final chapter of its Autumn Winter 2024 campaign series, showcasing the rigorous attention to detail imbued by Creative Director, Simon Holloway.
With over 130 years of unrivalled expertise and experience, dunhill stands as Britain’s leading tailoring House, renowned for time-honoured techniques and an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality. This season, dunhill’s eveningwear offering harks to the golden era of Hollywood style, when the House became known as the tailor to gentlemen of true distinction. Iconic figures such as author and bon vivant Truman Capote, who famously hosted the Black and White Masquerade Ball at the Plaza Hotel in 1966, are emblematic of this legacy. The event, renowned for its guestlist of aristocrats, scholars and stars, is also remembered for Capote’s elegant tuxedo, expertly crafted by dunhill. The importance of eveningwear to this House, and its prowess as a distinguished eveningwear tailor, is deeply woven into the fabric of elevated culture.
This heritage is reflected in exquisitely crafted pieces of classic English eveningwear, contemporised through silhouette, pattern and material for the rakish connoisseur of 2024.
Discover the louche single-breasted velvet Bourdon jacket, crafted from superior Supima cotton, with a lightweight full-front canvas. Experience the midnight blue wool-cashmere six-button double-breasted peak lapel evening jacket, unlined and cut to the dashing new Bourdon block. Make a statement with a striking all-white tuxedo in rare Grand De Poudre yarn, meticulously made in England.
Apply the finishing touches with refined accessories, such as an opulent duchess silk double-printed evening scarf, or a dapper velvet butterfly bow tie. For sophisticated footwear, slip into debonair kilim shoes or velvet, quilted leather-lined evening slippers – adorned with a Tweenie devil motif, first appearing in an early 20th-century dunhill catalogue, or an armorial crest designed by Andrew Jamieson, who also conceived the invitations for the King’s coronation.
You simply cannot find eveningwear as elevated as dunhillian eveningwear.
