Back in 2005, the brand held a blockbuster exhibition at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai.

For Loro Piana, that story begins in nature: with the changing of the seasons, the knowledge of local herders, and the scarcest, most precious materials.

Yet its staying power has less to do with instant recognition than with a quality that still feels remarkably current – clothes that look poised while allowing their wearer to move freely.
