Dunhill’s fall-winter 2022 collection, “Uniform,” celebrates the reliability, strength, and grandeur of a well-tailored uniform in all its glory. While masculine codes accompany the traditional idea of a uniform, Dunhill revisits expectation, turning out fresh designs that take on new meanings. Filtering tailoring through the personas of diverse characters, Dunhill unveils its new lineup with a strong point of view, seen from “City Boy to Soldier.”
“I really wanted to explore a sense of tailoring, sophistication and rigour once more,” shares Dunhill’s creative director, Mark Weston. “That idea of a masculine uniform, its world of functionality as well as military ceremony, the roots of our British tailoring traditions are so much part of these very things.”
For Weston, he sees the tradition of menswear as something fresh and radical when paired with youth. The designer explains, “how subversive and rebellious it actually feels for a younger man to embrace a strict suit as well as a shirt and tie now, to adopt an almost conventional uniform and make it so unconventional.”
Weston continues, “It’s the power and rigor of clothing that makes you feel something and behave in a certain way. This collection is a return to a certain discipline and tradition, yet there is always a simultaneous sense of British subversion within what we do and in the person who might wear it.”
