Italian luxury label Brioni has partnered with Academy Award winning actor Brad Pitt for the BP Signature collection, an exclusive capsule collection. Pitt has been a house ambassador for the luxury fashion label since 2019, and regularly wear the brand’s suits on the red carpet. 

Pitt is one of the most recognizable stars in the world with a film career dating back to ‘90s and decades spent as one of Hollywood’s most beloved leading men. He’s also made quite a name for himself as a producer with his company Plan B Entertainment, which has produced Academy Award winning films including The Departed, 12 Years a Slave, and Moonlight.

Pitt is considered a men’s style icon and has brought his aesthetic to BP Signature. Pitt selected muted colors for an understated wardrobe, along with extremely soft fabrics that add a sensual touch to the look. Formalwear is in a relaxed cut, and jackets are slightly longer. Trousers have a very modern fit with extreme comfort. 

The seven pieces in the collection include a two-button suit, a featherweight long-sleeved cashmere polo sweater, a double-splittable cashmere sport jacket, a lightweight and unlined car coat, and a velvet evening jacket with matching wool trousers and fine cotton evening shirt, all offering an interesting interplay of textures. 

“Identity and loss are often found in my work, and I’ve definitely struggled with both those things on a personal level. I moved around a lot, and I found myself reinventing to fit in.”
