To The Academy

The short film stars Italian-American actor Alessandro Nivola (‘The Brutalist’) as he dresses for the Oscars. It captures that moment before the big event, a time of preparation – both psychical and emotional. He reconnects his family story with themes in ‘The Brutalist' and is reminded of the time and skill required to create something extraordinary, be it a building, a suit, or one’s legacy. 'I can see that sculpture, architecture, and tailoring share a common thread: they’re about scale, craft, and precision – about realising something greater than the sum of its parts,' he says, donning his custom-made ZEGNA tuxedo before heading out for the night. #Oscars
