February 10, 2020, Brad Pitt receives his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino. Hair combed back, face clean-shaven, he climbs on stage pretending to run in slow motion. Humor, class, charm. Everything is here. Her outfit? A Brioni tuxedo with wide lapels, 70s shirt collar, and maxi bow tie. The actor has been the ambassador of the Italian luxury house, a subsidiary of the Kering group, since 2019. Jennifer Aniston's ex embodied the Tailoring Legends line in winter 2020 (see photos), between costumes in wool and large coats. But his tuxedo that night inspired him to go further by creating a collection in its own right.
Two years later, in 2021, the BP Signature was born. It represents the relaxed elegance, a trademark of Brad Pitt. Just see the photos and the campaign video for which he poses to succumb to the pieces imagined in collaboration with the Italian label founded in 1945.
“The seven pieces form a complete and balanced wardrobe: a two-button suit, an ultralight long-sleeved cashmere polo shirt, a double-construction cashmere sports jacket, a light unlined car coat, as well as a jacket velvet evening dress with matching fine wool trousers and fine cotton dress shirt, the whole offering an interesting combination of varied textures,” explains Brioni. The idea for Brad Pitt was above all to offer a dressing room that is easy to wear, to combine, while being sober.

The actor, so undeniably stylish, nevertheless likes to recall that he has “no style”, and that his tastes are “ guided by comfort”, as he told Esquire magazine, in May 2019, at the time of the Cannes presentation of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. “I hate ostentation, I like the feeling of a lining, of a material, of details that you can only distinguish by approaching. For me, following trends is too exhausting.” he added.
Hence the timeless character of his BP Signature collection and his attachment to the richness of the materials.Proof of his commitment and his pride in collaborating with Brioni, the 57-year-old actor has affixed his signature to the labels of its parts. collector.
