Brunello Cucinelli Presents Its New Women’s Fall Winter 2022 Collection: Nordic Notes & Sartorial Allure

Rich in references, patterns and new silhouettes, the women’s Fall Winter 2022 collection forges a seductive balance in search of a stimulating yet measured elegance that nurtures the joy of togetherness. Just like the refined blend of a perfume, it is possible to visualize the themes and ingredients of the collection as a pyramid that follows the characteristics and functions of olfactory notes.

Head notes – Feminine Reflections

At first glance, intense luminous interventions come to the forefront. Lamé textures, sheer surfaces swathed in dazzling embroidery, bright designs sweeping across fluid satins and feminine volumes infuse the entire wardrobe with a seductive aura that unites daywear and event dressing.

Heart notes – Enveloping Sensations

The most important elements, which strongly represent the feel of the season, are the iconic patterns from the North, the soft texture of fabrics and bouclé, brushed or fleecy-effect knits, quilted effects on precious materials and urban reinterpretations of high-altitude style. Inspiration drawn from the earth and nature permeates every component, from saturated brown shades of wood or animal pelts to floral designs that emerge from intarsia and embroidery techniques.

Base notes – Harmonic Memory

Together, the sensations that remain in the memory give value to the brand’s identity; they reflect a sense of belonging in which to recognize one’s essence. English ribs and traditional masculine patterns blend with new meanings of sartorial and feminine flair. The charm of delicate neutral nuances, the pleasure of the highest-quality noble fibers, unrivalled craftsmanship and a search for innovation embedded in artisanal expertise.

Overview & Styling

The styling embraces today’s need for flexibility and versatility through a calibrated diffusion of glamourous elements at all times of the day, from work meetings and free time to special occasions and convivial moments. Nordic, tartan and madras references alternate with sartorial volumes and patterns, capable of also attracting the attention of the younger generations who have learnt to wear blazers with ease, paired with deconstructed trousers, denim garments or slip dresses.

Dazzling crests, touches of light and precious patterns are balanced by the opacity of sheer organza or by the nuanced effects of brushed and boucl fabrics and they elevate the active comfort of jersey and French terry. References to high-altitude environments influence both city dressing and occasion wear in order to enrich the combinations and destinations of each element. The utility appeal of quilting is reworked in a sophisticated version, where stitching takes on the form of sparkling lines on evening satins, three-dimensional effects on shearling and creates new patterns with natural appeal.

Outerwear and Matching Sets

The new silhouettes are influenced by a search for elegance poised between contemporaneity and tailoring. Down jackets, also in precious suedes, nappa leathers and shearling are characterized by puffy padding that emphasizes straight and square volumes. The sporty nature of outerwear acquires couture appeal thanks to soft lines and precious manual workmanship. The straight lines of coats exhibit refined elegance and the heavier-weight cardigans become enveloping and ample outerwear garments.

Proposed as two-pieces or separates, matching sets make up an ever more multifunctional wardrobe. The suit becomes sensual and feminine thanks to miniskirts and the relaxed silhouettes of blazers and trousers. Precious and contemporary occasion wear also reflects a glamourous spirit and sartorial allure: matching sets entirely embroidered in sequins, corduroys illuminated by chalk stripes or fluid tuxedo-style fabrics.

Knitwear

Entrusted to the noble and luxurious prestige of cashmere and natural fibers, patterns inspired by Norwegian shapes are reinterpreted with new techniques and inspirations to create a cozy, soft and contemporary aura. Designed for everyday wear that goes from day to evening, fur effects and fleece textures channel sporting heritage and enrich texture illusions together with the refined embroideries that shape the wispy yarns.

The soft and warm character of knitwear influences all categories: down jackets, coats, skirts, trousers and accessories welcome the pleasurable sensations of precious and enveloping yarns. The blends of sporty notions, high-craftsmanship and precious, feminine or active-inspired designs are always crossed with an earthen colour palette.

Trousers & Skirts

The updated sartorial volumes play an important role in the definition of chic and modern styling: relaxed trousers with a slightly lowered rise and utility and cargo references pair easily with deconstructed blazers that interpret a business casual dress code.

Skirts take on an important role as a direct expression of a desire for femininity: mini, pencil and pleated designs contribute to renewing silhouettes and developing many of the collections themes through prints, embroidery, lamé textures and quilting. Following the brand’s distinctive style codes, bold boots and loafers balance out the most feminine pieces.

Accessories

Accessories reveal an interpretation of high craftsmanship, visible through processes that enhance the excellence of the product. Nuances are warm and enveloping, the surfaces undulating, enhanced through braiding and interventions that emphasize the softness of the materials.

Nature is the protagonist and mixes Nordic elements with references to the world of high-altitude sports, translating them into everyday use. Knitwear infiltrates footwear and bags through fur effects mixed with suedes. The sneakers offer patterns inspired by the world of outerwear.

Quilted effects accentuate shapes and volumes, interpreting flannels, taffeta and soft shearlings. Laminated surfaces reveal graceful luminous reflections, both in quilted-effect footwear and bags with bejeweled shoulder straps.
