On May 1, on the eve of Grand Prix weekend, Brunello Cucinelli returned to Miami in enduring style. The brand welcomed an intimate group of esteemed guests, including Founder Brunello Cucinelli, CEO Luca Lisandroni, and President & CEO of North America Massimo Caronna, to celebrate Mr. Cucinelli’s visit and Miami’s growing international prominence.
The evening unfolded at the Brunello Cucinelli boutique in the Miami Design District, where the brand’s hallmark of refined elegance and understated sophistication was on full display. Guests arrived in polished, fashion-forward looks, embodying the quiet elegance synonymous with the brand. From there, the celebration continued at Lido Restaurant at The Surf Club, where the atmosphere mirrored Cucinelli’s philosophy of timeless luxury—elevated yet unpretentious.
Coinciding with the city’s Formula 1 celebrations, the evening also nodded to Mr. Cucinelli’s personal connection to the sport—most notably through his friendship with Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, whom he joined earlier this year in London for the Grand Prix season opener. The gathering felt like a continuation of that narrative, aligning with the brand’s quiet blend of heritage, modernity, and thoughtful luxury.
Supporting Cucinelli were a notable group, Louis Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna, and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team CEO Toto Wolff. Also in attendance were former NFL star Victor Cruz, DJ Orange Calderon, model Rebecca Donaldson, Apple Executive Eddy Cue, model Kate Love, Miami Heat forward Kevin Love, Italian entrepreneur and DJ Gianluca Vacchi, and tennis pro Ayan Broomfield. Miami insiders rounded out the guest list, including Miami Concours co-founder Ronnie Vogel, Miami World Center’s Nitin Motwani, Latin American Fashion Summit’s Estefania Lacayo, and Frida Baby’s Chelsea and Eric Hirschhorn, among others.
Cucinelli, known for his dedication to exceptional craftsmanship and ethical luxury, is admired for his unique design philosophy, which emphasizes a balance between creativity and respect for both people and nature. His ability to weave traditional techniques with modern sensibilities has made his brand synonymous with understated luxury. With boutiques now in Bal Harbour, Palm Beach, and the Design District, his presence in Miami continues to grow, paralleling the city’s rise as a global cultural epicenter.
The gathering celebrated the brand’s expanding presence and reflected Mr. Cucinelli’s unwavering dedication to merging fashion with thoughtful living. Key figures from diverse industries attended, united by a shared appreciation for the designer’s visionary approach to luxury.
