Designer Brunello Cucinelli is the winner of the 2023 Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion. In celebration of this momentous occasion, Cucinelli has designed the limited-edition Icon Collection, available exclusively at Neiman Marcus.

“I’ve always had a beautiful relationship with Neiman Marcus. It’s been nearly 20 years that we’ve been collaborating. They are true luxury.”

—BRUNELLO CUCINELLI

Brunello Cucinelli’s namesake label, based in the Umbrian countryside and whose heritage is rooted in innovation and high-quality Italian craftsmanship, specializes in classic pieces that feel both contemporary and able to withstand the test of time. This exclusive capsule collection includes 39 styles for women and men and bears the brand’s signature focus on artisanal techniques, precious fabrics, and effortless luxury—with the addition of thoughtful details tailored especially for you.

“Brunello Cucinelli has become synonymous with artful craftsmanship and exquisite taste, while Brunello himself has become known for his brilliant mind and incredible heart.”

—LANA TODOROVICH, CHIEF MERCHANDISING OFFICER, NEIMAN MARCUS

“I remain fascinated by what lasts for eternity, locations that endure the test of time, that reflect the eternal concept of beauty, always an aesthetic inspiration for me to leave a memory of what we do.”

-BRUNELLO CUCINELLI

THE ICON COLLECTION was photographed at Ostia Antica, an archaeological site that was once a harbor city in ancient Rome. Says Cucinelli, “The port of Ostia welcomed new fashions from around the world, which, coming up the Tiber River from the sea, landed in Rome.” The inspiration for the Icon Collection draws from this location and its sense of timelessness reflected in the ruins that still stand today, a reminder of how the past continues to inform the present.

THE ICON COLLECTION stays true to Brunello Cucinelli’s roots while looking forward to the future, as evidenced in the collaborative effort between Brunello and his daughters, Camilla and Carolina Cucinelli. In a palette of versatile neutrals, from ecru and bone to muted grays, these pieces are made to be layered with each other and remixed in different combinations with minimal effort. Fluid silk, softly tailored linen, and breezy cotton are interspersed with the brand’s signature knits—including three artisan-crafted Opera knit sweaters adorned with micro-sequins, each numbered as part of a limited run. It’s a collection that leans into sophistication while embracing unfussy style, a triumph of Italian craftsmanship and modern, yet timeless, design.
