Brunello Cucinelli heads to Sicily for high summer 2026, finding a natural companion for the Mediterranea capsule collection in the sun-washed streets and baroque architecture of Modica.

Photographed by David Portela, the campaign follows Clément Chabernaud through courtyards, terraces, artist studios, and winding alleyways, where the collection’s light tailoring and relaxed separates settle into the landscape.

The setting reinforces a vision of summer dressing shaped by culture, craftsmanship, and an Italian approach to living well. The clothes center on a refined balance between tailoring and leisure.

Soft double-breasted suits, linen jackets, drawstring trousers, open-collar shirts, and lightweight knitwear arrive in a palette drawn from limestone facades, Mediterranean sunlight, and coastal sand. Clément wears them with the confidence of someone passing between a gallery visit, a late lunch, and an evening gathering in the piazza.

Mediterranea presents summer as an opportunity to rethink tailoring, exchanging formality for lightness while preserving the elegance that has long defined the Brunello Cucinelli wardrobe.

Brunello Cucinelli’s summer also runs after dark in the brand’s eyewear campaign with Tony Ward, where Solomeo’s craft language gets a neon-lit, roadside treatment.
