When founders Gaetano Savini and Nazareno Fonticoli began taking their early collections on tour in the U.S., they effectively invented the trunk show. Though polished, Brioni was always path-breaking, once flooding the Waldorf Astoria ballroom for a dramatic 1964 show.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Stockman held superb tuxedos worn by the likes of Oscar Isaac or Marcello Mastroianni, who wore Brioni in Fellini\u2019s &#8220;La Dolce <a class=\"fnwAddLinks\" href=\"https:\/\/uk.fashionnetwork.com\/tags-vita\" title=\"Vita\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vita<\/a>&#8220;.

And designed since 2018 by the brilliant Austrian men\u2019s couturier Norbert Stumpfl, famed for his blend of perfect tailoring and path-breaking fabrics \u2013 like 24-karat gold thread tuxedos, or enzyme-altered silk-linens with unique fuzzy hands. During his tenure, Brioni has also skillfully branched into women\u2019s wear, expressing quiet luxury with rare aplomb.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Hosting the dinner with Federico Arrigoni, appointed CEO in May, as guests dined on crispy artichoke and cacio e pepe risotto.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cSince Brioni was born in Rome 80 years ago, it has shaped the meaning of men&#8217;s elegance for generations.\u00a0\u2029By tonight, it&#8217;s not just about the past. It&#8217;s about the future. This that we are living tonight is a turning point for us. It&#8217;s a moment to reaffirm who we are, but a moment to commit to the next chapter of this extraordinary story. Innovating while staying true to our essence and continuing to define the codes of Italian contemporary elegance,\u201d said Arrigoni in a short speech.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"news-image\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:644px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/c020.jpg\" alt=\"Brioni held a special dinner event in Rome on Friday night\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>Brioni held a special dinner event in Rome on Friday night &#8211; Courtesy<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-md-8 offset-md-1 article-content--texte\">Dinner was followed a jazz performance by the famed singer Mario Biondi, who remarked: \u201cIn Rome, one often sees very beautiful and elegant women.
