On Friday, November 10, iconic Canadian fashion force Holt Renfrew and storied Italian legacy brand Brunello Cucinelli joined forces to curate an exquisite evening. The AGO’s Galleria Italia transformed into a haven for approximately 70 guests, graciously hosted by The Hon. Hilary M. Weston and Carolina Cucinelli. The exclusive soirée marked the unveiling of a bespoke capsule collection, a harmonious collaboration between Cucinelli and Holt Renfrew’s Fashion Director, Joseph Tang.

As the night unfolded, the air was filled with the sultry tunes of saxophonist Gaby Ruz, setting the perfect ambiance for champagne and Aperol Spritz-infused conversations. A single, grand harvest table beckoned guests to indulge in a three-course dinner, each dish accompanied by the richness of Brunello Cucinelli’s own olive oil, straight from Solomeo.

Sebastian Picardo, President and CEO of Holt Renfrew, shared insights alongside Weston and Cucinelli, while the String Sisters serenaded the evening with classical renditions of contemporary hits. This collaboration, embodied in the versatile and timeless capsule collection, paid homage to Cucinelli’s personal style, capturing the essence of sophistication and wanderlust.
