TIME FOR ESSENTIAL VALUES

Spring Summer 2021 Men’s Collection

The human response to life’s most delicate moments often generates a renewed desire to live, born out of the pleasure of rediscovering the vitality of daily life and the enjoyment of beauty through brand new yet authentic elements. From the time spent dedicated to reflection and to the pursuit of the brand’s core elements, essential values have emerged. Creativity flows through special and contemporary garments, capable of instantly conveying fresh and distinctive style.

In the past, a similar momentum inspired one of the most notable periods in the history of modern Italy, the Dolce Vita years. Rich in cultural and international stimuli, the period became the symbol of a renewed Italian lifestyle, which was immediately recognizable in the looks of movie stars worldwide. The same dynamic buzz is infused into every element of the new collection, best summarizing the innovation, quality and essential values of Brunello Cucinelli.

Combinations

The collection is all about unique and distinctive elements, capable of lending a sophisticated and innovative flair to any look, always striking the perfect balance between casual elegance and new inspirations. Each category in the collection is designed to update style in a simple and skillful way, to best express the synthesis of heritage and continuous innovation.

Thorough research into materials and special techniques, the harmony of colours, enhanced lightness and fine blends of natural fibers embrace renewed proportions. Contemporary style is conveyed by the soft volumes of shirts, T-shirts, polos and, above all, of trousers, enriched by detailing borrowed from the world of tailoring or by pockets and seams with a sporty nature.

Colours

The colours of the collection evoke a summery air of peacefulness and relaxation, mostly created by the fine harmony between neutral tones.

The wide array of warm beiges, greys and blues is dotted with fresh summer hues: cobalt, aqua, citron and magenta. Mostly present on the details, colours add refined and energetic touches, representing a bridge between classical canons and contemporary influences.

Materials

Lightness and comfort lend a sense of wellbeing and dynamism to the entire collection. Through careful research, the perfect fabric for each garment has been identified, highlighting and enhancing uniqueness.

The precious and summery appearance of silk and linen fabrics, the balance between modernity and the timeless elegance of the new linen, wool and silk blends, the refined combination of Sea Island cotton and wool, and the fresh textures of twisted yarns – all the materials lend a lightweight, effortless yet sophisticated flair to suits and jackets.

A variety of pinstriped patterns defines the exclusive fabrics of the summer blazers and down jackets. Microfiber alternates with gabardine in lightweight outerwear, while délavé linen fabrics give character to summer coats. Coloured details are skillfully combined with the classic and neutral tones of the outerwear. The exclusive textures of thin and ultra-lightweight

suede, nappa and calfskin leathers, enrich and diversify the style of outerwear.

Knitwear

The ample selection of light summer yarns lends a unique and refined note to every piece. The fresh slubbed textures created by linen alternate with smooth surfaces and cotton English rib knitwear. Lightweight knitted polos and T-shirts are accompanied by more enveloping fibers, ideal for the start of the season.

Striped collars and cuffs, contrasting hems and embroidery embellish the classic shapes and sophisticated hues of the season. Moreover, sweaters with striped patterns in a variety of widths and proportions introduce maritime, regimental and sporty inspirations.

Accessories

The accessories line is infused with the same quest for uniqueness and excellence that drives the entire collection: a fine blend of exclusive handcrafted techniques, new leathers and lightweight materials make every item special.

Footwear becomes a must-have accessory for conveying elegant simplicity on any occasion. New flexible loafers accompany modern and summery takes on classic styles, revisited in extremely light and unlined versions.

The wide range of sneakers explores new styles and materials, adding coloured details with an active character. Knit sneakers transfer the quality of the yarns and iconic knitwear patterns onto footwear. New artisanal, handcrafted natural rubber soles enhance both classic styles and sneakers.
