Born in Perugia on July 29, 1982, Camilla is the eldest child of Federica and Brunello Cucinelli. She obtained a language education and then joined the Brunello Cucinelli family enterprise in 2002.

After a training experience in the commercial field, carried out between Italy and the United States, she focused on the creative process and joined the company's Style Office. Over the years, she has contributed to the development of the Brunello Cucinelli collections by proposing new lines of clothing, jewelry and accessories.

Camilla personally supervises the development of the collections and all their phases, scheduling periodic research trips and attending major international exhibitions in order to gather and study trends and materials. The in-depth analysis of textile fibers and yarns constitutes one of the most intense moments of the entire process, together with the selection of colors, which also involves continuous comparisons between Camilla and the Style Office team.

Great importance in her activities is the aspect of sustainability, the pillar and founding value of the entire Brunello Cucinelli philosophy, which is applied methodically and with great rigor to the creative process.

Camilla studies the silhouette of individual garments in detail, placing particular emphasis on proportions and dimensions, finally arriving at the complex phase of garment industrialization that will lead to the production.

Camilla's activity focuses on both ready-to-wear collections and the varied universe of accessories, and both lines are conceived and created with the aim of producing a total look that harmoniously combines the two types of products.

She is constantly devoted to the development of all those activities that involve sociocultural initiatives for the benefit of the local community and the enhancement and maintenance of the hamlet of Solomeo.

Camilla currently serves as Co-Head Women's Creative Director and is member of the Board of Directors of Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A.

In March 2024, she was granted powers in the areas of Product and Image.

Born in Perugia on Feb. 23, 1991, Carolina is the second-born daughter of Federica and Brunello Cucinelli.

After graduating from high school with an artistic diploma in Fashion and Costume-a course of training that enabled her to learn about cutting, tailoring and printing on fabric-she became increasingly passionate about studying the subject in the creation of garments.

In 2010 she joined the family enterprise Brunello Cucinelli. While initially she worked as an assistant in the Women's Style Office and then took on the role of head of the Accessories Division department, she later made a fundamental contribution to the realization of the digital project, "Artigiani umanisti del web," whose main results of which were the e-commerce platform (online boutique) and the redesigned company website. Carolina supervises the company's image and communication, especially through social platforms, which she often uses to give visibility to projects that are more strictly aimed at the younger generations, with a view to enthusing and involving young people who want to express their vocation.

While closely following communication projects, she has also gradually become interested in the company's business strategy in the commercial sphere and its development, both wholesale and retail.

She significantly contributed to the development and consolidation of the fundamental understanding of the Brunello Cucinelli brand with prestigious companies such as Oliver Peoples (2021) and, more recently, Luxottica (2022) and Euroitalia (2023), which led to the conception and creation of exclusive products such as eyeglasses, sunglasses and the recently presented fragrances for Women and Men.

Carolina has been capable to better express such qualities by creating and cultivating, over time, pleasant relationships with all those friends of the brand, who are used to attend the events that from time to time are organized by the Cucinelli family, by profoundly sharing the founding values of the Impresa di Solomeo.

In particular, together with her sister Camilla, she has been very active in the renovation project of the hamlet of Solomeo and in a series of social and cultural promotion activities that have brought significant benefits to the area. More precisely, by hosting international performances every year at the Cucinelli Theater and organizing open-air cinema in the summer at the Foro delle Arti in Solomeo, Carolina gave an impulse to an artistic-cultural program capable of strengthening the sense of community and making Solomeo an attractive hub for quality events.

She currently serves as Co-Chairman and Co-Creative Director, as well as being a member of the Board of Directors of Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A.

Just two years later she devoted herself to the creation and production of her first ready-to-wear collection under the LE MANFREDI brand, distributed throughout Italy and produced entirely in Umbria.

In 1992 she met Brunello Cucinelli, with whom she began the operational and corporate partnership that changed the brand name to GUNEX. The brand, which specializes in the creation and production of high-quality skirts and pants with a contemporary design, acquires a high international reputation over time.

Over the next 20 years, she designed and developed the GUNEX-branded collections in close collaboration with the Style Office of BRUNELLO CUCINELLI cashmere, with the precise aim of coordinating the image of the two proposed lines with a view to stylistic and distributional synergy, in order to establish a precise and recognizable Group identity.
