Exclusive peek: Timmy Xu on working with Dunhill

  • By Wilson Lim

After landing several big-name collaborations in the past year, Timmy Xu’s clout in the fashion industry meant that we couldn’t let him slip through our fingers when we found out he was attending Dunhill’s Spring/Summer’19 fashion show in Paris. In an exclusive interview with Men’s Folio, the Chinese actor and singer-songwriter lets us in on what it was like working with Dunhill this season. 

 

What is your impression of Dunhill since working with them?

I think that it is a very manly and powerful brand.

What do you think of the Dunhill Spring/Summer’19 menswear collection?

I saw a lot of interesting designs, especially this time because the brand has traditionally been manly, gentlemanly. Every single aspect has been exhibited very powerfully. 

How do you think men’s fashion has impacted social media?  

Men’s fashion definitely has an impact. Today is the new media age, everyone goes onto the web and look at different fashion news, news trend, celebrities. That’s why I feel that it is a platform where you can present things that you personally like, which can be men’s fashion.

Do you think there’s a relationship between fashion and an artiste?

Yes, there is a relationship, fashion is an attitude. Regardless if you are an artiste or not, you need to have the right attitude.
