Brunello Cucinelli has introduced its High Summer 2025 Capsule Collection, inspired by the open water and coastal landscapes.
For menswear, the collection draws from the world of offshore sailing, using the J Class yacht as a central motif.
The designs integrate fluid tailoring with technical materials and subtle maritime cues. The colour palette is divided into two themes: a classic navy inspired by nautical heritage, and a more expressive pairing of cherry and beige, creating contrast and vibrancy.
Signature materials include abaca, a sustainable fibre sourced from the Musa textilis plant in the Philippines, which is blended with virgin wool and silk to produce a breathable fabric with a denim-like finish.
Other fabrics include lightweight microfibre, bonded cotton, and techno-cotton gabardine. Nautical motifs, such as rope piping and embroidered sail silhouettes, appear across knitwear, tailoring, and outerwear. Accessories include washed suede espadrilles, woven leather belts, and canvas bags with buffalo leather trim.
In womenswear, the collection captures the breezy elegance of coastal living, focusing on natural textures and layered forms. The colour palette features neutrals and metallics like ivory, sand, and champagne for daytime glamour, alongside vibrant tangerine shades grounded by earthy accents.
The materials include delicate cotton organza, lamé cotton gauze, striped organza, and netting crafted from airy cottons and jute yarns. Papyrus, stripes, and nets serve as key motifs, with papyrus reimagined as a soft foliage print on flowing caftans, trousers, and lightweight shirts. Accessories complement the collection with raffia textures, gathered leather bags, and earth-toned sandals.
Both collections are designed for warm weather, offering unstructured blazers, drawstring Bermudas, openwork knits, and twinwear sets. The women’s collection emphasises balance and dimension through mixed lengths and volumes, while the men’s collection highlights relaxed yet polished silhouettes suitable for summer’s rhythm.
