In the past decade, a number of traditional and old brands have progressively transformed into current and relevant fashion.
The Alfred Dunhill Spring/Summer 2013 collection presents a history of classic reinventions. Inspired by the essential codes of menswear and the traditions of English sartorial style, the collection focuses on contemporary tailoring. Reinvention takes the seams as attention to silhouette, fabric and form breathes anew, echoing old-world elegance for today’s times.
The household name offers a wardrobe comprised of casual and formal wear. These fashion-forward pieces are made of high-quality materials. The brand, channeling the “now” lifestyle, has a wide range of cardigans, blouson, formal wear, casual jackets and blazers perfectly wearable and cool for traveling.
For more than a hundred years, the legendary Alfred Dunhill brand has built a name synonymous to both craftsmanship and heritage. Moving the brand forward, it consistently collaborates with the best manufacturers to come up with a noteworthy collection while maintaining its legacy.

Forecast

Shooting editorial samples can be quite exciting. You get the opportunity to check out the stuff even before they appear in glossies or make it to the stores-some even don't at all. As a fashion stylist, these collections are circulated by region and the ones that land on the pages of international mainstream magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar, Elle and the likes. Handling merchandise can be quite taxing due to the probability that they get damaged. But with these things, due to their "editorial" use, the stylist gets free hand in doing whatever creative execution. Recently shot an editorial for People Asia using these international brands from Stores Specialists Inc.(SSI) and showcasing their trend forecast for the summer season. Cheers!
