Simon Holloway, Creative Director of dunhill, hosted an intimate presentation of the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection during Milan Men’s Fashion Week. Held at the stunning Societa del Giardino, the show drew a host of celebrities who showcased the timeless appeal of British tailoring. From commanding leather coats to suave suits, here’s a breakdown of who wore what—and how.
Caramel is the New Classic
When you think of style and elegance, Regé-Jean Page is undoubtedly in the top tier. Known for being Mr. Suited and Booted—right alongside Nicholas Hoult and Adrien Brody—these gents have successfully translated their classic sophistication into laidback elegance. Case in point: Regé-Jean’s effortless dunhill ensemble. The caramel hue is a departure from his usual navy-and-black palette, and what a treat it is. The warm tone against his complexion is pure perfection. But when it comes to the shoes, would brown have been a better choice than black? Perhaps, but honestly, who’s noticing when the overall look is this swoon-worthy? I love how this proves that refined style doesn’t always require a suit and tie.
Commanding in Caramel
The Agency actor David Harewood, known for his authoritative presence on screen, that commanding aura translated seamlessly to the front row. The dunhill leather coat felt custom-made for him, exuding a blend of strength and refinement.
British Charm in Every Detail
Harry Lawtey may have flown under the radar during the Joker: Folie à Deux press tour—understandable with Lady Gaga commanding the spotlight—but his style quietly speaks volumes. His “recently graduated from London School of Economics, banker-to-be” aesthetic exudes charm and charisma.
A British label like dunhill is a perfect fit for Harry’s refined yet practical style, with the “could rain at any time” trench coat completing his polished look. Effortlessly dapper and undeniably British, Harry knows how to make understated elegance his signature.
Suede Sophistication
Kingslee James McLean Daley, known professionally as Akala, was a rapper with style and poise in dunhill. The rich textures made this a standout example of effortless cool with a touch of edge.
Classic Never Goes Out of Style
Rivals actor Alex Hassell epitomised timeless elegance in a three-piece grey windowpane dunhill suit. Accentuated by a patterned navy tie and pocket square, his ensemble balanced classic tailoring with subtle personality. It’s the kind of look that whispers sophistication.
Offbeat in Mauve
Gavin and Stacey actor Russell Tovey opted for mauve and blue tones. While his choice broke away from the evening’s predominantly cool palette, I found the tie and pocket square jarring, and the shoes leaned too mountain climber for the refined dunhill suit. I’m not sold on the overall colour combination either.
I’m hyperventilating.
