With its La Donna Atelier, Brioni is pushing the boundaries of made-to-measure, engaging women without attempting to transpose them into a masculine realm. Within the luxury landscape, there has long been a void for women seeking truly bespoke tailoring, and the project was conceived to fill that space. The location on Via Senato 28, set within an elegant Art Nouveau space, marks the first iteration of an experience destined for a selection of boutiques worldwide.
In the Brioni atelier every story begins with fabric, and that holds for the seasonal collections, too. Textiles in the latest offering had a lighter hand and a more luminous finish. Rooted in the legacy of the Brioni power suit, the collection revolved around impeccably constructed blazers, coats, and shirts. Lightweight knitwear, substantial jackets designed as refined outerwear, and safari jackets with knitted collars and removable scarves were made to accompany women through every dimension of their lives. So too were the single- and double-breasted silhouettes—from reversible cashmere car coats to herringbone trenches with leather inserts, culminating in tuxedos. The wardrobe was conceived with versatility at its core.
The color palette moved from clay to smoke gray, from deep blue to warm brown, extending into peach and burgundy. Each garment will be fully customizable, both in fabric—spanning solids, checks, stripes, and double-faced wools—and finishing details, from linings to buttons to monogram applications. With this new chapter, Brioni is creating a space dedicated to women on their own terms, without asking them to adopt the language of masculine tailoring.
