09.2 Dunhill A/W10,by Kim Jones

Ernest Shackleton and Edmund Hillary were the kind of adventurers Kim Jones had in mind when he started mapping out his youthful, gentlemanly collection for Dunhill. As he brought his usual subtle swagger to traditional clothes, a square pocket handkerchief featured a print of a Trans-Siberian map; hiking boots anchored slim worsted trousers; belts carried flasks and pen cases in a nod to Dunhill's iconic accessories. At its core, the collection was about impeccable, slim tailoring with tempered modern twists: silver buttons here, a crest there. Sprinkled throughout were strong knits and outerwear, including a puffer jacket in a Prince of Wales pattern with a mink-trimmed collar.
