If Christian Kimber has its way, we’ll all be looking trim, toned and, dare we say, well-heeled this event season. The Melbourne-born brand has taken a sophisticated dive into occasion wear with the unveiling of its Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Featuring classic silhouettes that have been reimagined with opulent fabrics, alongside garments that approach trans-seasonal dress with a fresh aesthetic, Christian Kimber is aiming to bridge the gap between evening wear and traditional tailoring. In essence, it’s occasion wear with an elevated twist; something the label has become synonymous with over the years.
Harking back to its tailoring heritage, the brand’s latest collection is aimed at the refined casual dress category. Effortless and uncomplicated, the range is highlighted by luxury fabrics, soft tailoring and textual interplay. This comes through in the new collection of blazers and trousers, which the brand explained have been crafted using fabrics sourced from Italy’s renowned Drago mill, a century-old family-run institution.
The interplay of colours and textures is perhaps best evident in the army-green, three-button Kingsley polo. The staple piece, which has been constructed using Tasmanian super 120 ultra fine knit wool, exudes a touch of subtle luxury, particularly when paired with the brand’s Loro Piana tailored trousers. For more relaxed occasions, Christian Kimber has paired a new range of denim shirts with Italian melange trousers, combining laid-back comfort with understated elegance. And, of course, the iconic Fitzroy jacket has been reimagined in black goat suede for an elevated, timeless feel.
The collection centres on soft tailoring and doesn’t shy away from boldness in event wear. To me, the brown and green check dinner jacket is a standout, crafted with impeccable tailoring for those seeking a memorable yet elegant look.
The season’s campaign was just as considered, shot at the iconic 120 Collins Street in Melbourne– the business district skyscraper providing the perfect backdrop to complement the collection’s sophisticated design ethos. The location’s timeless charm and urban elegance reflect the collection spirit, capturing the modern man’s effortless transition between work, leisure, and special events.
