Loro Piana is a Vertically Integrated Company where social and environmental topics matter: Nature is where we source our fibers, and it represents the core of where our inspiration comes from.
Valuable raw materials can be kept in circulation through technical cycles, using innovative and creative ideas.
Students have therefore been asked to regenerate two Loro Piana finished knits, incorporating them into their final Project, using both new and past collection yarns. Participants will have the opportunity to add their own personal touch by playing with a group of nuances within the Loro Piana spectrum.
From Nature’s cycles and the beauty of the finest fibers, comes the excellence of Loro Piana yarns.
