See every look from Loro Piana 's spring 2023 collection:
Loro Piana is a fashion-insider favorite because it exists outside of fashion, its silhouettes unchanging despite shifts in trends and its materials made at the highest levels. Understated luxury has always beenstory. But as the company makes efforts to grow, it’s adopting some of the industry’s ways.
Piedmont, Loro Piana’s home base, yielded cold-weather outerwear: a shearling bomber; a bouclé camel hair and silk poncho; an alpaca wool coat with a subtle stripe; and a mohair, cashmere, and technical fabric coat whose weightlessness has to be felt to be believed. As the tour progressed south with the season, the clothes became more summery.
Handbags are a main focus for the company. The large bale bag in a warm brown leather with white topstitching and a bucket in striped woven cotton with leather trim are two worthy investments. Loro Piana already stands apart from the sex and flash on the Milan runways, but to this insider’s eye, the best of the collection were the house icons, the unchanging “winter voyager” and “horsey short” jacket, both in cashmere; the cotton and linen “traveler”; and a bomber in water-repellant microfiber.
