Summer Collection - Part 2

Torquay 1 Nov 2024

The campaign’s visual narrative comes to life through the lens of rising photographer Chege Mbuthi. Known for his cinematic play with shadows and framing, Chege’s modern approach aligns perfectly with Kimber’s soft tailoring and understated sophistication. “In my work, I aim to capture mood and depth through light and shadow,” Chege explains. “Collaborating with Christian allowed us to explore how tailored menswear can harmonise with Torquay’s raw beauty.”

Leading the shoot is Torquay’s own model and surfer, Spencer, whose laid-back energy and local knowledge brings an authentic vibe to the campaign. His coastal-cool style perfectly complements the versatility of the collection, designed to transition effortlessly from the beach to the city.

The textured chinos, made from lightweight 100% Italian cotton, have been upgraded with side adjusters for a sleek, belt-free look—perfect for warm weather sophistication. Kimber’s signature garment-dyeing process infuses these pieces with rich, nuanced colour that looks worn by the sun.
