In April, WWD broke the news that Holloway would be joining the brand from the Richemont-owned Purdey.
Dunhill, which celebrated its 130th anniversary this year, will be one of the opening acts on the first day of London Fashion Week. The brand last showed on a runway in 2020 during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
Other brands showing on the opening that Friday will include Huishan Zhang, Chet Lo and Tolu Coker, another newcomer to the runway format.
Saturday’s lineup will consist of the elegant thinkers such as Roksanda, David Koma, Erdem, Richard Quinn, Ahluwalia, 16Arlington, and Simone Rocha, as well as the likes of Harri, Robyn Lynch and Labrum London.
