Online luxury retailer Mytheresa and Italian fashion house Brunello Cucinelli are coming together to promote a Mediterranean-inspired collection.

Styles from the brand's new High Summer capsule will prelaunch exclusively and globally on Mytheresa.com, starting May 8. Taking to northern Italy to host a star-studded event at Lake Orta held May 3-4, a two-day experience underwritten by Mytheresa's content-driven marketing strategy precedes the impending debut.

Beating the heat
Celebrating the longstanding partnership between Mytheresa and Brunello Cucinelli, guests joined company executives, including the brand's founder, for a cocktail reception and dinner party on Friday.
