The evening featured a panel discussion titled “Brunello Cucinelli: From Castel Rigone to the World,” where Brunello shared his journey from an Italian village from Castel Rigone to becoming one of the world’s renowned luxury fashion designers. His talk spotlighted six main themes: building a successful global fashion brand, merging heritage with innovation, sustainability in luxury fashion, social responsibility, cultural exchange, and the future of fashion. The session allowed guests a deep dive into Cucinelli’s unique philosophy and valuable insights into his vision of the fashion future. Brunello also emphasized the importance of craftsmanship as a core value driving the creative and design process in fashion projects to ensure sustainability and authenticity.

Brunello Cucinelli, who founded his luxury fashion brand in 1978 in Italy, is recognized for creating meticulously crafted pieces from the finest cashmere, reflecting the artistry of Italian craftsmanship and a commitment to sustainability while striving to improve the lives of his community and protect the environment.

This evening builds on the Fund’s efforts to develop a diverse range of developmental solutions to build the capabilities of creatives, entrepreneurs, and enterprises in the Saudi cultural sector, improve their managerial, financial, and technical skills, reduce operational and startup costs, and sustain their creativity to take their projects to new heights. The Fund also seeks to bring together global and Saudi experts to deliver valuable content that inspires entrepreneurs and creatives, enhances the quality of their creative outputs, and empowers them to lead competitive cultural projects that contribute to the national GDP, improve the quality of life in society, and reinforce the cultural sector’s economic and social contributions.

Earlier in November, the Fund signed credit facility agreements worth over SAR 30 million to finance projects in the Saudi fashion sector, aiming to empower the industry, stimulate creativity, and generate diverse job opportunities amidst the burgeoning growth the fashion industry has experienced since the launch of Saudi Vision 2030.
