DUNHILL to be Guest Designer at Pitti Immagine Uomo 111

At the next edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo 111 (Florence, January 12-15, 2027), the Guest Designer will be DUNHILL, the British luxury menswear house that has been under the creative direction of Simon Holloway since 2023. For the occasion, the House will stage an exclusive salon show in Florence, on the evening of Thursday 14th January.


“Florence has long held a particular place in the English imagination, from the days of the Grand
Tour, when young British artists and aristocrats travelled through Italy. In pursuit of learning and inspiration, the centuries-long relationship between the English and the city of Florence has been shaped by a shared appreciation for artistic expression and the art of the classical – a sensibility that feels deeply resonant within the world that Alfred Dunhill built. There is an enduring love story in that Anglo-Florentine exchange: the restraint and rigour of English style set against the artistry and elegance of Florence. Pitti Uomo holds a singular place in menswear, and it is a great honour to be invited to present the collection here. To bring our cutting edge classicism to Florence, within a forum that has played such an important role in celebrating the art of menswear, feels especially meaningful. — Simon Holloway, CD Dunhill
