Brunello Cucinelli pops up at Harrods

Looks from Brunello Cucinelli’s Harrods windows

Where: Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Rd, London SW1

When: from 1 December

The Italian label Brunello Cucinelli produces all of its cashmere knitwear and wardrobe basics in Solomeo, a medieval village in Umbria, central Italy. For the holiday season, the brand has transformed Harrods’ window displays into a tribute to Solomeo. A six-part story unfolds across 21 windows, led by a character called Philo, a griffin drawn from Solomeo’s heraldry. Alongside the window takeover, they’re stocking choice clothing and accessories for men and women. The offering includes casual outerwear in denim and soft shearling, sweaters and cardigans in delicious shades of cream, soft brown or navy, and party dresses made from their sparkling “Croc Embroidery” fabric, which uses sequins to give an exotic crocodile-leather effect.
