Spring’s warm weather and increased daylight hours make it the best season leading up to the summer season, where brightness lies beyond the horizon. Attuned to our country’s tropical weather with high temperatures and wet months occurring throughout the year, Malaysians have always been fond of weaves and meshes on knitted pieces, natural earthy hues and delicate pastel tones that express summery nuances, as combined with lightweight wools and airy silks, or exotic floral embroideries that contribute to an intriguing confluence of artisanal craft and cosy mysterious touch. The tailoring prowess of Brunello Cucinelli’s Sping/Summer ’20 collection shares the same page with us.
Like the wistful emotional tropes and warmth of the fortuitous intersection of nature and urban life, the line merges the quietest glint of sequin in wide-weave mohair sweaters, and nudes to pinkish beiges blended scintillatingly into the house’s trademark Opera knits, which consist of handmade wearable collages of hemp and cotton that is made with 28 hours of craftsmanship. Yet it is not all rustic fleck. Think pared-down dusters, sleek leather short-suits, and irregular striped marinière sweaters which are a part of a gently referential dance between ’90s grunge and minimalism.
The collection creates the essential balance between the radiant tint of a “light soul” and the impeccable style of timeless elegance, which are the pleasure to charm for the enlightened shopper. Available soon at Level 2, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
