Fashion career profile
Simon Holloway
Simon Holloway is a British fashion designer and the Creative Director of dunhill. A Kingston University graduate, he has worked across luxury menswear, womenswear and accessories, with positions at Ralph Lauren Collection, Agnona and James Purdey & Sons. Richemont announced his dunhill appointment on 12 April 2023 with immediate effect. He is responsible for interpreting the British maison's tailoring, leather goods and hard-luxury heritage across its current collections. The directory records Holloway's creative role separately from chief-executive leadership: Laurent Malecaze was CEO at the time of his appointment, Andrew Holmes later served as interim CEO, and Matthew Ives became CEO in October 2025. This structure prevents a creative appointment from being mistaken for operating control and retains Richemont as the parent reporting entity.
