Loro Piana Fall/Winter 2025-2026 Women’s Collection The Way We Were

Mar 5, 2025

The Loro Piana Fall/Winter 2025-2026 Women’s Collection is a horse riding quest to discover The Way We Were: not for the sake of nostalgia, rather to reaffirm the timelessness of the Loro Piana values. Vast and untamed landscapes are the heart of the Loro Piana way of connecting clothing and life, enticing harmony with nature as a holistic way of being. Every collection is a journey; each country holds ties to the Loro Piana ethos and history. The path starts in Argentina, moves over towards the Scottish Highlands, and ends up in the boundless landscapes and vastness of New Zealand and Australia, where Merino wool is raised to be then transformed in Italy by the guiding hands of the Maison’s master artisans into the softest, most sensorial fabrics. The relationship is deep, and encompasses matter, lifestyle, a way of dressing as a way of being. Horse riding, in fact, according to Sergio Loro Piana, is a school of life that teaches respect for the animal, perseverance, and discipline. Words the Maison lives by.

In the Loro Piana Fall/Winter 2025-2026 Women’s Collection, this wide-roaming excursus follows a flow of shapes, colours and textures that is organic and enveloping. Harmony is a pillar for Loro Piana and is conveyed through volumes that follow the movements of the body, while horse riding suggests details that are thoughtfully functional, and new shapes for both skirts and trousers, with the pantskirt drawing a distinctive Argentinian silhouette.

This is all mixed with a distinctive take on ladylike that is another signature, and which this season is condensed in bouclé fabrics and aquarelle hues. Colours and matter blend into a rich amalgamation of textures that include cheviot, cashmere, abaca, silk, cash melton and Merino wool in earthy and natural hues of dark brandy, vintage brown, creamy vanilla, creamy cashmere, dark maple leaf, tundra soil, vicuña, deep oak, plus navy blue and black.

The iconic Spagna jacket appears in a short, cropped version as well as a pencil to-the-knee coat, reaffirming its status of malleable Icon. Mannish tailoring is ever present, while the nods to both Argentina and the Scottish countryside are visible in silhouettes with long skirts, cropped or quilted jackets and caps. Ensembles are layered in tonal hues, going from dark to light, for an ombré effect, or feature Cartella Inglese mixes of different masculine patterns in similar hues. Knitwear dressing is another expression of this enveloping mindset and focuses on touch as a way to please the senses.

Loro Piana’s signature flow carries over in the most refined eveningwear, which expands its reach into an after dark interpretation of the seasonal themes and silhouettes, with a distinctive a-night-at-the-Opera feel to it. Hats seal the message, either in wide or short-brimmed versions, while shoes are flat and slender, with riding boots as the season’s protagonists. At night, Silk Satin, jacquard Silk and Charmeuse are presented exclusively in classic notes of black or white.

A rubber version with Loro Piana lining and detailing has been developed in collaboration with heritage master bootmaker Le Chameau. Jewellery in enamel, leather and metal adds a further touch of glowing restraint, with geometric shapes and new charms. Statement sunglasses are big in shape, while belts are slim with sleekly designed buckles.

Leather goods, which are offered in the softest buttery leathers and fabric iterations that match the collection, see the launch of The Extra Bag L23, a smaller take on the original design. Another new style is the Needle bag, inspired by the bags used to carry knitting needles, which merges softness and structure in a sinuous shape. The iconic Loom bag is presented this season in Nubuck Zibeline, a leather inspired in look and feel by Loro Piana Zibeline fabric, as well as in Cash Tweed and Pecora NeraÒ, embellished with guilloche engraved charms.

From a far-roaming journey, an all-surrounding idea of style as harmony emerges.

Loro Piana unveils Royal Lightness, a new Excellence of rare lightness and lustrous beauty

Driven by the ongoing quest to explore uniqueness in the textile world, Loro Piana unveils Royal Lightness, its new excellence, embodying absolute lightness, a subtle sheen, and a touch of the exceptional. Royal Lightness is both a yarn, a mix of silk and Merino wool, and a fabric, a blend of silk and cashmere, both developed in-house by a dedicated team after two years of extensive research and a meticulous process at the Maison’s state-of-the-art facilities in Roccapietra and Quarona, Italy.

Achieving new heights in delicacy, the Royal Lightness yarn is incredibly gossamer, making it nearly impossible to knit without Loro Piana’s unmatched expertise and profound textile knowledge. Working with such fine fibers requires extreme precision, skill, and know-how to prevent breaking the threads.

The Royal Lightness Yarn is an extraordinary blend of precious silk and the finest Merino wool, measuring an incredibly fine 13.5 microns – only 0.05% of the annual world production of Merino wool falls within the 13.0-to-13.8-micron range – sourced from Australia and New Zealand. The Merino wool is blended with Mulberry silk, also known as Royal Silk, which is the finest silk in the world, measuring a mere 21 deniers.

It is sealed with a special finish for added delicacy and exclusive luminosity. This transformation involves various steps by the Maison’s master artisans, starting with combing and spinning the precious raw materials, then, twisting two strands of yarn together in a precisely measured manner. This enhances the innate qualities of each fibre and creates an ultra-fine thread with a signature lightness and subtle reflection. It is later transformed into ethereal knitwear through a painstaking process guided by distinctive textile prowess.

The Royal Lightness Fabric is the result of an exceptional union of precious Mulberry Silk and the finest cashmere, expertly woven into the fabric according to a labour-intensive procedure that only a handful of specialised workshops in Italy can provide. Weighing just 350 grams per metre, this double-sided material combines 21-denier organzino silk with long-fibre 15-micron cashmere. The silk thread is skilfully wrapped around the cashmere to give it lustre, a subtle sheen, and the necessary strength for weaving.

During the final stages, the woven fabric is tumbled with care for a fluffy, raised pile that embodies a signature Loro Piana touch. Finally, it is brushed, raised, and shaved to add depth and direction, achieving a unique light-reflecting quality. Once the various pieces of the garment are ready, the fabric layers are separated, and the edges are reinforced with fine tape. Next, they undergo the most intricate and time-consuming part of the fabrication: fell stitching. This is a rare ancient artisanal technique performed entirely by hand, with thread and needle, to ensure a smooth, immaculate finish on both the outer and inner sides of the garment.
