For autumn/winter 2016, the piece in my collection that best expresses the mood of the season is the blazer. Like all Brunello Cucinelli tailoring, it is designed to be extremely lightweight and is engineered for comfort. My philosophy is all to do with producing clothing that is modern and comfortable, made using the skills and craftsmanship developed in Italy over the years.
My new blazer comes in plain fabrics or with a very light pattern, so you can wear it with anything – from formal attire to more sporty pieces. You can even wear it with joggers and trainers and I have these in my collection, designed in a way that is still elegantly Italian. The idea is that the blazer conveys chic sportiness but is sleek at the same time – because the blazer confers elegance to sport. In this way, the blazer absolutely rules for me this season.
