Beyond the runway, the story of SS26 unfolds behind the scenes.
From early morning tailoring checks to twilight fittings, this is the preparation, personality and pulse of the show. Whether in a quiet moment of reflection or an impromptu fit adjustment, every frame reveals the care and craftsmanship behind the spectacle.
Spring Summer 2026 celebrates the quiet excellence of British craftsmanship. Fabrics are sourced from historic English mills; jackets cut by hand, sleeves set with needlepoint precision. Shown in the private Giardini Poldi Pezzoli in Milan, this collection is a tribute to refined masculinity, rendered through linen, leather and time-honoured tailoring technique.
Inspired by the insouciant elegance of bohemian British icons such as Bryan Ferry and Charlie Watts, dunhill Spring Summer 2026 tailoring begins in neutrals – Glen checks, hopsack linens, cotton-silk blends – all worn with a certain undone precision. Decadent, disciplined, definitively British.
The season embraces a palette of gelato tones with masculine clarity. These aren’t colours for whimsy, but deliberate expressions of boldness: crisp, elegant, and worn with purpose. Paired with sober tailoring in Super 160s wool or fine seersucker, they create drama – playful, not performative. At dunhill, colour is a language. And here, it speaks of confidence, hedonism, and summer at its most refined.
From London’s tailoring rooms to Milan’s verdant heart. Each look for the Spring Summer 2026 show carries with it the story of British artisanship: mill-woven cloth, hand-finished detailing, and influences from the regal and the rock n roll.
This season’s guests reflect our evolving community: discerning, international, and steeped in elegance. On and off screen, these men embody contemporary British masculinity – polished yet playful, refined yet effortless.
Featured guests included: Corey Mylchreest, Michiel Huisman, Nabhaan Rizwan, Akinola Davies Jr., Amir El-Masry, Mark Strong, Tom Bateman, Tosin Cole.
