Brunello Cucinelli Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Classiness and classicism combined at this afternoon's Brunello Cucinelli presentation in Milan. Classy touches included a comprehensive spread of today's Italian national newspapers, eight titles in all, laid out by the buffet. The classicism was built into the clothing we were here to contemplate, which included a comprehensive slew of intelligent seasonal twists applied to the canon of archetypically tailored menswear. Because many of the assembled looks were styled for the borderlands between casual and formal, that view also took in the T-shirts upon which many were built. These came printed with contemporaneous English newspaper reports describing the arrival at the British Museum of the sculptures, originally installed at the Parthenon, known as the Elgin Marbles. Any reference to the modern political debate around these treasures was entirely unintended. Instead their resonance was a reflection upon the capacity of classical forms to echo across cultures. The proof of that was in the garments these T-shirts were layered beneath. Cucinelli and his team started, as ever, with the classics, before applying the mirror of moment and context to retell them for now. This season, that storytelling was loose, light, and long. The skirts of tailored jackets fell buttock-skimmingly low, while the waistlines of roomily double-pleated pants climbed navel-grazingly high. The breadth of Cucinelli's collar shape had also duly expanded in order to maintain the harmonic proportion of the whole. While there were some unusually top-to-toe color stories here, most notably in navy, there were also a series of powerful color brushstrokes: an apricot linen blazer above a gray T-shirt and pant, or a soft knit coral colored shirt under a pale crisp cotton suit and a dark pinstriped trench. An unusually-toned group of looks played dark brown against navy. Cucinelli confirmed that the second point of reference after the fundamental architecture of tailoring was the period in the 1980s when the structure of tailoring was most tested by the boundaries of volume. The mix of those T-shirts, knit sports shirts, and shirting with tie-print inspired patterns under the tailoring further emphasized this fresh exploration of that historic period of creative deformalization. One difference in Cucinelli's approach to this subject was afforded by the technicality of today's materials—white blouson worn over a pair of double-pleated linen pants weighed in at only 80 grams. A pair of blue suede shoes that looked like the hybrid offspring of a soccer boot and a loafer was completely flexible and foldable in the hand, while still robust and resistant on the foot. Cucinelli further experimented by applying the same roomy architecture of his dress trousers to pants cuts in ultralight denim. While a pleated jean might sound pretty wrong, it looked perfectly right. With wearability his central mantra, Cucinelli creates clothes so classic that they operate as Italo Calvino once described classic prose: 'A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.'

Brunello Cucinelli: Soon to be a major motion picture
Add "docudrama star" to the list of Brunello Cucinelli 's professions, alongside designer, brand builder, philanthropist and savant. Cucinelli will make his film debut in December in Rome when he unspools a film on his life and career by Giuseppe Tornatore, an Oscar winner with "Cinema Paradiso" for best foreign film in 1988. 'I thought if I was going to make a film, I had better work with the best. And, well, Giuseppe is magic. Too many people get films made about them when they are dead. Better when you are alive, as I am,' enthused Brunello on Wednesday in his elegant stand at Pitti. The Umbria-born entrepreneur revealed that shooting for the autobiographical film had already begun in 2023 in his hinterland – the towns of Magione, Solomeo and Castel Rigone, clustered around the regional capital Perugia. The evolution of Cucinelli's story, from his modest beginnings to his consecration as the 'king of cashmere,' will be presented on the big screen. 'Cinema Paradiso is a little like the story of my life,' said Cucinelli, who grew up in a working family before going on to build Italy's latest global sartorial brand. "Cinema Paradiso" narrates the story of a successful film director who returns to his small hometown in Sicily for the funeral of his mentor. Its ending is one of the most beautiful in the history of film. Cucinelli also divulged that he had called on the skills of composer Nicola Piovani, another Italian Oscar winner for "Life Is Beautiful" in 1997, for the soundtrack. The news emerged as Brunello unveiled a subtle yet very substantial switch in his aesthetic – baggy pants. New trousers cut with double pleats, and a lower, looser waist. 'More like this,' explained Brunello as he opened his jacket to reveal the trousers' lower waistline, and how he had displaced buttons an inch lower on the jacket of his six-button chalk stripe linen suit. Believe it or not, Cucinelli even showed worn and ever-so-ripped jeans, practically an insurrection in his bible of style. His informal evening breaks new ground with matinee idol jackets with satin-free shawl lapels. While the color palette also has plenty of kick–orange, apricot, royal blue, and coral red. Overall, think fluid yet sartorial. But the biggest news will come in early December when Brunello unveils his docudrama. Tornatore's most recent film was a biopic on Italy's most famous composer for cinema, Ennio Morricone. Next, Giuseppe and Brunello will head to Rome for the cinematic debut in the capital's legendary film studio – Cinecittà – in the first week of December. Roll over, David Beckham and Michael Jordan; there is a new docudrama designer sheriff in town.

With a Foreword by Brunello Cucinelli, This Coffee Table Book Is a Father's Day Must-Have
John Pearson is known the world over as the first male supermodel, but it's the role of father that he considers his most important. 'I lost my father when I was 11, he was only 45,' he tells Robb Report. 'I fully support men speaking candidly, expressing what fatherhood means to them. It's healthy masculinity.' It's that sentiment that immediately drew Pearson to the latest project from photographer and author Claiborne Swanson Frank, a poignant collection of photographs and interviews with fathers and their children. Father and Child —available from Assouline just in time for Father's Day on June 15th—features more than fifty fathers with their children including Eli Manning, Craig Melvin, Jimmy Chin, Wes Gordon, Tommy Haas, James Van Der Beek, Rashid Johnson, Kevin Love, Tony Romo—and Brunello Cucinelli, with whom the photographer partnered to bring the project to life. The book follows Swanson Frank's Mother and Child , after which she felt it only natural to celebrate fathers all the same. 'As a mother of two boys who adore their father, I felt inspired to document and celebrate modern fatherhood the same way I did motherhood,' she says.

'It is no coincidence that the very first inspiration for this book stems directly from her family, from her dear ones.' Cucinelli also wrote the foreword for the book, in which he talks about the principles of fatherhood and what it means to be a 'good man,' something readers will find celebrated throughout. 'In fact, my babbo—as we call our fathers in my homeland of Umbria—repeated to me throughout my life that I could pursue any path I wished, so long as I never failed to behave as a good man, a decent and honourable individual, towards everybody,' he says. 'This book offered me a precious opportunity to revisit, in some way, the relationship I shared with my father. Within its pages, I found something of universal value, recognisable at every latitude: each son or daughter is called, over the course of their life, to cherish and nurture the invaluable human legacy bequeathed to them by their father.' Cucinelli, both a father and grandfather himself, also reflected on what each of those roles mean to him as he worked with Swanson Frank on this project. 'I would say that this book—among the many thought-provoking insights it offers—invites deep reflection on the value of experience,' he says. 'I have been a son, then a father, and now a grandfather; yet these existential roles remain within me all at once—I cannot, after all, separate them. Perhaps one of the most profound experiences I have come to appreciate is my father's gentleness — a virtue I only truly learned to value with the passing of time.' It was also important for Swanson Frank to celebrate this powerful group of men as not only exemplary fathers but leaders in the worlds of art, sport, design, business, tech, and film to illustrate the connection between leaving a legacy as both a parent and a professional. To fully embrace her subjects' individuality, she worked together with each of them to collaborate on styling and the location of their shoots, and the result is a collection of photographs that are palpably authentic and emotional. For Pearson, that meant shooting him and his son Cooper at their home in California. 'It's always time well spent, when together with any of our kids,' he says. 'The shoot was very relaxed, Brunello's clothes always feel and look elegant and Claiborne is a consummate pro.' Alongside interviews with her subjects, the book also includes an interview between Swanson and her own father, which she says was exceptionally meaningful to undertake. 'I was moved by how deeply he loved his own father and how inspired he was by him,' she says. 'My grandfather was my father's great love and he loved and admired him in such a profound way which in turn shaped his vision of his life and himself.'Above all, Swanson says she hopes this book reflects the meaningful imprint father and child relationships have on families, and on the world – something represented in the through line of all her interviews and photoshoots. 'I hope I conveyed the power of love and family legacy and the reminder that the greatest gift in this life is to love and be loved in return,' she says.
