Italian clothing designer Brunello Cucinelli poses in a theatre he built in the Umbrian village of Solomeo October 7, 2009. He has been called the King of Cashmere, an entrepreneur with the mind of a capitalist but the heart of a philosopher, the Don Qixote of Italy's luxury fashion world, an idealist madman. Brunello Cucinelli is anything but an orthodox businessman. But the double-digit revenue and profit growth his luxury fashion label has produced in the past three years would make any company turn asparagus green - one of his shades - with envy.
