Brunello Cucinelli has been named the winner of the Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the field of fashion.

The announcement marks the revival of Neiman Marcus’ award, which was first created 85 years ago with the goal of recognizing industry leaders who are innovative, creative, and motivated to make an impact.

As the recipient of the award, Cucinelli will have the opportunity to partner with the luxury retailer to develop immersive experiences and activations as the company looks to make investments in brand marketing and merchandising in the U.S.

Cucinelli will also be offering an exclusive and limited-edition Icon Collection at Neiman Marcus stores and online starting April 2023. The collection will include menswear and womenswear clothing and accessories, offering ready-to-wear looks.

“The prestigious acknowledgment that I am being awarded fills me with joy and makes me feel extraordinarily honored,” Cucinelli said.

Some of the other popular brands that have previously received the award include Carolina Herrera, Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent.

“(After) more than two decades of partnership with Brunello Cucinelli, Neiman Marcus Group has come to value not only his masterful craftsmanship and design but also the principles attributed to his brand,” said Mr. van Raemdonck, CEO of Neiman Marcus Group.
