Brunello Cucinelli explores the sartorial world of 1980s style with its latest collection.
As the house said, in the notes which accompany the collection’s release: “The Fall Winter Collection seeks to capture the allure of a masculine style in its purest and most definite form. The elements that have made the history of men’s elegance are reborn with a new and contemporary identity: structured, precise and powerful shapes belonging to the 1980s sartorial world inspire an accurate and generous, clean yet fluid, always effortless and particularly comfortable style, in true Brunello Cucinelli spirit.”
Colourways include beige and grey tones, with touches of black and lead blue. Elsewhere there are shades of lobster orange, coral red, sky blue, khaki green and iris purple, which always reveal a slightly greyish appearance. The result is a palette which feels harmonious with the cooler season.
Silhouettes are designed to enhance the male physique, while built in the highest quality of fabrics for which the Italian house has become famous.
As the house explains of the materials which were chosen for the latest pieces: “The season’s structured and sartorial feel brings fabrics that support the shapes, but are nonetheless soft, lightweight and cosy. New blends offer a versatile functionality, combining the technical features of synthetic fibres with the natural feel of cotton or virgin wool fibres, to give even the most casual garments a unique and luxurious appeal. [Meanwhile] the leathers focus on rich, three-dimensional textures, enhanced by special mélange effects for wool shearlings and innovative laser-applied paisley patterns for soft suede.”
Other key details from the recent designs by the house include the Evening Selection, which includes velvets, enriched by Prince of Wales or Paisley patterns, and the Mountain Capsule which brings the distinctive Brunello Cucinelli style to the slopes.
