For AW26, Loro Piana calls its collection Nomadic Reverie – journeys, landscapes, memories gathered in motion – but the romance is grounded in serious clothes. The house’s archival teardrop motif, first explored in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, reappears on shawls and scarves and woven through jacquards in pumpkin, ochre and tobacco.

The colour palette shifts through terracotta and gold warming into beige and grey, deepening to tundra, midnight and finally black and white. Long dusters skim over fluid tailoring. Cable knits in Baby Cashmere and Gift of Kings wool are layered over silk-satin slips trimmed with lace. Cinched culottes and wide skirts bring shape without stiffness. For men, relaxed double-breasted coats, easy suiting and revived icons like the Roadster and Traveller jackets come in buttery wool and silk technical blends. A shearling blouson is cut round and generous, almost snowball soft.

Evening is stripped back to monochrome: tuxedos finished with modern cashmere shawl collars. Accessories follow the same logic: supple Bale bags, soft totes, satin flats and sturdy boots. It's travel as a state of mind rather than a destination.
