Kim Jones for Dunhill, Autumn 2009

Last week was the debut of a much anticipated Dunhill’s Autumn 2009 collection, the first line of a new partnership with menswear maverick-designer Kim Jones.

After transforming the Umbro brand into one that lead the way in understanding contemporary streetwear-infused athletic wear, combining a more synthetic line of fabrics with a more casual and highly-modernized sensibility, here we have Jones reworking the exact opposite aesthetic with a similar premise: men’s formal basics with a twist. Beautiful clean lines, dynamic construction, and a young and spirited attitude to formality — a look that leaves the stuffy dress of the conservative to the conservatives.
