FALCONERI TAKES OVER NY’S BRANT FOUNDATION, CELEBRATING CASHMERE THROUGH FASHION, ART AND DESIGN

The Italian luxury brand celebrated its iconic Ultrafine Cashmere and craftmanship heritage with an immersive evening exploring precious fibers as a medium for artistic expression

NEW YORK, October 14, 2026 — Falconeri celebrated the uniqueness of its Ultrafine Cashmere in New York City with Galleria Falconeri, an immersive event at The Brant Foundation that brought together fashion, contemporary art, design and Italian craftsmanship.

For one night, the East Village arts destination turned into a stage for an artistic interpretation of cashmere curated by Falconeri, inviting guests to experience the brand’s signature cashmere beyond the traditional boundaries of fashion. The evening welcomed a distinguished group of press, stylists, and celebrities, including Katie Holmes and Jason Bard Yarmosky, Uma Thurman, Ashley Benson, Liev Schreiber, Brittany Snow, Bailey Bass, Adam DiMarco, Anthony Ippolito, Austin Scott, Highdee Kuan, for an exploration of the raw fibers, innovative techniques, verticalized processes at the heart of Falconeri’s renown expertise.

At the center of Galleria Falconeri was the idea of cashmere as an artistic medium. Throughout the gallery, Falconeri’s signature material was reimagined through a series of artworks and installations, transforming yarn, texture and finished garments into sculptural and visual expressions. From framed and woven cashmere works to large-scale yarn installations and unexpected interpretations of the material, the exhibition invited guests to see a familiar luxury fiber from an entirely new perspective.

“With Galleria Falconeri, we wanted to introduce New York how we transform an extremely precious fiber into something unique, leveraging our expertise throughout the journey to deliver an exceptional yet ultra fine product to wear across seasons and time. Falconeri has always been rooted in the beauty of exceptional natural fibers and Italian craftsmanship, and tonight brings those values into conversation with art, design and contemporary culture. New York felt like the perfect place to tell that story,”said Sandro Veronesi, Chairman of Oniverse.

The artistic dialogue came to life through a live painting performance by Paris-based Franco-Japanese contemporary artist Tiffany Bouelle. Working within the gallery throughout the evening, Bouelle created original artwork in real time, inviting guests to witness the creative process unfold and transforming the act of making into part of the Galleria Falconeri experience.

Light became another material within the experience through a special collaboration with Italian lighting company Flos, creating a dialogue between illumination, architecture and Falconeri’s tactile world of cashmere. Flos is internationally recognized for its designer lighting and has collaborated with some of the most influential figures in contemporary design, with numerous creations represented in major art and design museum collections around the world. Throughout space, Flos IC Lights, designed by Michael Anastassiades, punctuated the gallery environment.

The exhibition live journey culminated in an intimate seated dinner, where Falconeri’s signature material became an integral part of the setting itself. Created especially for Galleria Falconeri, a dramatic 23-meter waterfall of Ultrafine Cashmere cascaded through the space and extended along the dining table as an extraordinary table runner. The sweeping installation translated the softness and fluidity of cashmere into an architectural gesture, illuminated by Last Order, the iconic table lamps designed by Michael Anastassiades for the dining room of the legendary Four Seasons Restaurant in New York. The installation enveloped guests in the material, creating a striking connection between art, fashion and dining throughout the evening.

The culinary experience was created by Chef Silvia Barban of LaRina Pastificio & Vino, whose approach combines the traditions of her Northern Italian upbringing and Calabrian roots with a contemporary New York sensibility.
