Brunello Cucinelli Fall 2017 Womenswear
/
As a fashionable man, I'd wear Brunello Cucinelli 24/7 if I could... and if I were a woman, I'd wear Brunello Cucinelli 24/7! This is such an exquisite collection of luxury meets casual. Per VogueRunway: The design team worked the collection around the concept of exploration; it is intended to represent a positive outlook and an open mind toward diversity. “Inclusive combinations—respectful of different ages, races, [and] cultures—that is what it’s all about,” explained Cucinelli. Masculine references were lightened and graced with a feminine, sensual flair; military elements were softened by lace, embroidery, feathers, or vintage trimmings. Knitwear in precious alpaca, cashmere, and mohair was given a fluffy texture, as if it were a protective vellum. To enhance the inclusivity factor, shapes and volumes had gently oversize and comfortable proportions, appealing to a variety of body types without detracting from a stylish, cool attitude. Sporty inspiration was tempered by urban, utilitarian touches, as in a shearling biker jacket with a textured, antique gold metallic shine.
