The Rakish Gent

Jun 2025

Dunhill's First Taste of Summer, featured in The Rakish Gent, presents a curated exploration of seasonal menswear. The editorial shifts between structured formal tailoring and relaxed, warm-weather attire, anchored by model Caesar van den Idsert. The visual narrative channels a classic, refined aesthetic, utilizing natural light to accentuate the tactile qualities of suede, knitwear, and wool. Photographer Arnaldo Anaya Lucca leads the visual execution, with creative direction by Simon Holloway. The project balances monochromatic analogue film photography with vivid, warm-toned editorial compositions. Stylist Tony Cook provides the fashion direction, complemented by hair styling from Craig Taylor, as the work moves fluidly between garden settings and structured interior portraits.
