www.dunhill.com Discover the Autumn Winter 2010 collection from dunhill, presented in Paris Men’s Fashion Week. 2010 sees the 80th Anniversary of dunhills global launch of the Japanese lacquer Namiki pen – widely believed to be the most exquisite writing instrument ever created. The cementing of the dunhill-Namiki relationship in 1930 is almost a Boys Own tale from that period. A story of exploration, travel and adventure undertaken by two men – Clement Court, the extraordinary general manager of dunhills Rue de la Paix store in Paris, and Setsuji Wada, the Japanese Maki-e lacquer artist and the representative of the Namiki company abroad. It is their overland journey from Europe to Japan – taking in Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and Korea along the way – and that spirit of travel and adventure from the period that has been the inspiration for Kim Jones Alfred Dunhill menswear collection this season.
