“Tailoring is the heritage of Brioni, it is our essence, and the essence of craftsmanship. We really wanted to bring this to womenswear. It’s the same [kind of woman] as the man.” Executive Design Director Norbert Stumpfl is a man with a vision blending @brioni_official’s past and present. At the link in our bio, we sat down with Stumpfl to discuss his inspirations for womenswear, the differences between luxury and being fashionable, and his adoration of the Brioni atelier alongside an exclusive shoot capturing the Italian house’s La Donna Spring/Summer 2025 collection in and around Manhattan.

In much of the contemporary world, intelligence has become equated with some kind of clearly quantifiable aptitude, and whatever is quantifiable, traceable, or predictable pertains to the realm of rationality. Fields of study with supposedly transcendental ambitions, such as literature, fine art, or philosophy, are themselves, across the West, enslaved to the grid of rationality. Yet the juiciest questions surrounding the purpose, origin, and worth—and thus, possibilities—of the human race, with which all Western science and certainly analytic philosophy are concerned, far surpass the faculties of human logos and require tools superior to its limited computing capacity in order for us to even graze their surface. Rationality is useful—it has and will continue to serve our species greatly—but when totally self-sufficient and devoid of a higher principle, it becomes lost and aimless, like a confused child chasing their own shadow. Therein lies, unacknowledged, the downfall of our long-forsaken, alternative, and universally accessible form of intelligence: intuition. From medieval mystics to modern radicals, @threadofutopia explores in our Fall/Winter 2024–25 issue the suppressed potency of intuitive knowledge. Head to the link in our bio to read.

“What’s important when it comes to legacy is to leave more than what you took. Not even more than what you took, but be a part of something bigger than you. That means that hopefully you’ve given back to people, and given back to the world, because if you’re just thinking about your legacy and what you achieved, that’s so small.” Athlete, author, and creative entrepreneur @venuswilliams is in the business of creating a lasting legacy. She’s remained a household name in the athletic sphere since she debuted on the court and quickly earned the distinction of being the first Black woman to rank number one in the sport. But her record-breaking impact extends well beyond the court, with her inimitable influence reaching from sports into fashion, design (she runs the design firm V Starr Interiors), art, letters (she’s the author or co-author of multiple books, most recently Strive), and culture writ large. At the link in our bio, Williams meets with Document’s Style Director @ronbreezy to discuss the evolution of their perspectives and how they connect and collaborate to influence the present and the future for our Fall/Winter 2024–25 issue.
