Inspired by 1930s secret society the elusive Night Climbers of Cambridge, KENT&CURWEN looks to the style of Whipplesnaith - the 'Butterfly Collector', author and ringleader of this cult nocturnal sport, and the pen name adopted by Noel H. Symington - and celebrates seeing things from another perspective.

The courageous Night Climbers set their own rules; changemakers, rebels, defiant in the face of a revered establishment which they adopted as their hallowed playground in the shadows. With it emerged a sense of belonging to something, a playful attitude that riffs on the set codes - an approach embodied by KENT&CURWEN since the brand's inception in 1926 and still today as it marks its centenary.

For Autumn/Winter 2026, KENT&CURWEN explores this viewpoint in codes of British dressing, with a color palette that emerges from midnight blue and black through muted taupes and autumnal browns, uniform greys and soft pastels, punctuated with an array of bolder shades of collegiate reds, bright lilacs and burnt oranges.
