Loro Piana’s spring 2026 collection gave further proof of what sets the company apart, meaning its deep and ongoing research into fabrics and materials. The brand further upped the ante in those areas – and even dared more.

In the art-filled halls of 18^th-century Palazzo Citterio, the brand put into dialogue its charming offering with modern and contemporary artworks from the likes of Pablo Picasso, Umberto Boccioni, Giorgio Morandi, Arturo Martini and Marino Marini, and as if it was inspired by such a juxtaposition, it refreshingly introduced accents of color into its fashion.

Pops of red, yellow, marigold, turquoise and lilac appeared alongside its sophisticated neutral-hued looks crafted from cashmere, silk and merino wool. So much so that Loro Piana also created a library of cashmere knits in 16 different colors, to be easily incorporated into one’s wardrobe.

Overall, the sophisticated collection played with elongated silhouettes and loose volumes that signaled the brand’s distinctive nonchalance and ease, as seen in fluid tailoring for men and women – especially remarkable in shawl collared blazer jackets buttoned low and a lightweight tweed blazer with a soft touch; cozy brushed alpaca coats, and roomy trousers, including summery chinos to wear with cardigans in blends of wool, cashmere, silk and linen.

Its own reinterpretation of eccentricity still hinged on craftsmanship, as seen in the hand-applied fringes covering a top and flared pants for the evening or the exquisite embroidery on a little vest to throw on airy cable knit. 

Floral, watercolor-like and sea-inspired prints added to the women’s offering in its most summery expression, while the men’s line veered toward an outdoorsy vibe via technical sailing pieces to be layered over mariniere striped knits come next season.
