DUNHILL DEBUTS FALL 2018 CAMPAIGN
British luxury menswear brand Dunhill has debuted its autumn/winter 2018 campaign
Focusing on the model Clement Chabernaud, the photographer, Jack Webb, captures him in the shifting, reflected settings of London. Shot in the streets and through the glass fronted buildings of Mayfair, the timeless terrain surrounding Alfred Dunhill’s Bourdon House is explored via ‘stylized reportage’; a reflected world of half fact, half fiction.
Here, Chabernaud wears the mix of the traditional cut through with the casual, found in Dunhill London’s autumn/winter show. Tailoring and layered outerwear, in the form of traditional cashmere coats, still maintain a feel of ease when mixed with Dunhill’s masculine leather goods, encompassing shoes, bags and even trousers. The extravagant is made everyday and vice versa, while ‘executive style’ is both celebrated and subverted. Altogether, the codes of Dunhill London are reflected and reconfigured for a new chapter at this storied British house.
“The idea of the Dunhill man is multiple, not singular. And in turn, so is the idea of Britishness – something crucial to Dunhill and the way we approach style here,” said Mark Weston, creative director of Dunhill London. “There is not a single way of being British, there are many; there is classicism and tradition as well as an idea of the contemporary and shifting. In many ways, the campaign is about literally showing these different perspectives at once.”
