The latest men’s and women’s collections from Italian house Brunello Cucinelli boast ethereal pieces in pale colours to catch the essence of summer, coupled with stand-out darker pieces that will take you effortlessly from day to night.

In the women’s collection, equilibrium is key, seen in the balance between opposing forces – minimal and ornate, aesthetics and functionality. Garments that are pure and simple and those that are special are brought together with a sense of timeless style.

Sartorial quality offers a fundamental reference point for contemporary balance, expressing an apparent simplicity, a refined effortlessness. Beyond the confines of blazers and suits that are at the heart of the collection, the sartorial interpretation also spreads to outerwear, where drawstrings and hoods give way to trench coats, raincoats and overcoats with a timeless flair. The tidy appeal of matching sets is extended to biker jackets, shirts and utility jackets combined with skirts, trousers and shorts.

Key colours are milky white, sand, rope and quartz greys, hay and concrete alongside interventions of dark brown and black.

The quest for elegance is at the heart of the menswear collection which features fresh colours, soft volumes, carefully balanced garments, paisley patterns and details inspired by the French Riviera.

Unique natural textures, délavé and slub effects enhance the summery colours, which pair with timeless neutrals to create a new and intense balance. Pink, raspberry, turquoise and mauve not only influence the patterns on shirts and tees but also add refined accents to chic elegance, always offset by the unique textural effects of the fabrics. Layered greys and blues in varied shades convey a sense of refinement and sophistication.

Fabrics and leathers have been chosen for their lightness and comfort, while softer fits in tees and knits sit alongside slightly lengthened blazers and loose, fluid trenches for easy-to-wear style.

The quality of the materials and craftsmanship transfers the season’s guiding principles to the accessories line, which aims to offer contemporary elegance at the service of a distinctive personality. ✤
