You know those fresh spring days, when the sun starts to warm, the breeze is still cool, and the days slowly grow longer. That’s exactly what Loro Piana wants to convey through their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, recently presented in Milan. Like an elegantly dressed audience, the mannequins presented at the Palazzo Citterio come alive as they admire Modigliani’s portraits, Boccioni’s Futurist visions, the Cubist works of Picasso and Braque, and the metaphysical silences of Carrà and De Chirico, blending harmoniously with the setting of the regal building.
In their new offering, Loro Piana once again proves their mastery when it comes to the choice of fabrics and use of colour. Cashmere, silk, and Merino wool unfold in an earthy palette of beige, light browns and cream hues contrasted by splashes of orange, red, pale pink, and sky blue that immediately catch the eye. The mannequins stand as sculptures, admiring the museum’s masterpieces: yellow suits juxtaposed with white and blue floral prints, striped knits, trousers, and caps that echo the nautical world and recall the Venetian gondolier’s charm. The silhouettes are soft and fluid, giving movement to the body and creating that casual, slightly baggy look that somehow remains refined, giving an effortless elegant vibe.
The collection reinterprets the colour palette and shapes of some of the House’s most famous pieces, such as the Maremma jacket, now transformed into a bomber silhouette, while expanding its cashmere offerings. Displayed on top of the tables, bags shaped like cosmetic travel cases and oversized beach totes with knotted cords take centre stage, becoming part of the museum.
Yet it’s the hats that truly dominate the scene: large, exaggerated felt statement pieces in orange, beige, and blue, alongside more simple beanies and caps, offering something for everyone.
