Brunello CucinelliHandmade Dazzling blossom OPERA knit vest in soft virgin wool and cashmere

The ultimate expression of artisanal research and refined yarns takes shape in this dazzling blossom OPERA knit vest in soft virgin wool and cashmere. The surface of the garment evokes the spontaneous beauty of woodland landscapes through a dynamic and sinuous composition of floral elements that give rise to a knit rich in texture, depth and material variation. Each element is individually crocheted and then applied by hand on a light net-like base. Following a meticulous and precise placement pattern, the flowers are first individually secured with a needle and then sewn together, creating visual continuity and transforming the individual details into an abstract, shimmering, three-dimensional texture. MATERIALS A malfile soft virgin wool and cashmere yarn is combined with a mohair and lurex thread, creating a light and shimmering net-like base. Crocheted floral elements are then applied to this structure, enriched with the small reflections of metallic sequins that enhance their brilliance. Crafting a single garment requires approximately 30 hours, with the artisan imparting unique and unrepeatable characteristics to each piece.
