dunhill, the foremost British luxury menswear House, is proud to announce a new partnership with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), uniting two distinguished institutions in a shared celebration of British heritage, classic artistry and cultural excellence.
Serving as the Official Luxury Clothier to the RPO, including the dressing of Music Director, Vasily Petrenko, the House’s dedication to tailoring and design excellence reflects the same pursuit of precision, discipline and artistry that defines the RPO’s world-class performances.
A perfect harmony of tradition and values, this union follows the RPO’s inaugural performance at dunhill’s Autumn Winter 2025 show in Milan earlier this year – an exquisite moment that marked the beginning of an evolving creative dialogue between the storied British House and Orchestra.
Building on this debut, the two-year global partnership will see dunhill and the RPO come together across a series of exceptional experiences — from private concerts and intimate performances to global cultural moments — including a quartet from the orchestra returning to Milan to perform as part of the House’s Spring Summer 2026 show.
Founded with a mission to enrich lives through exceptional orchestral experiences, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the UK’s leading ensembles, performing around 200 concerts each year for a global audience of over 60 million. Under the direction of Music Director Vasily Petrenko, the RPO is celebrated for its artistic excellence, diverse repertoire and collaborations spanning symphonic, film, gaming and popular music, alongside its award-winning community and education work through RPO Resound.
“It is an honour for dunhill to partner with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – an institution that, like our own storied House, represents the highest standards of British tradition and innovation. This collaboration allows us to create exceptional experiences for our clients and audiences, while supporting the enduring legacy of one of the world’s great orchestras.” – Andrew Holmes, CEO ad interim of dunhill
“The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is delighted to welcome dunhill to its growing family of distinguished partners who support the RPO’s work and share a commitment to ensuring the continued success and development of the arts in the UK. The RPO looks forward to collaborating with dunhill to create unique and memorable experiences that inspire journeys of orchestral discovery, as we continue in our mission to bring the thrill of orchestral music to the widest possible audience.’’ – Huw Davies, Deputy Managing Director and Business Development Director at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
A perfect alignment of two Great British icons, this partnership underscores dunhill’s ongoing support of British cultural institutions, following collaborations with BAFTA and Frieze Masters, and further reinforces the House’s unique standing at the intersection of craftsmanship, design classicism and contemporary British identity.
