Not all fashion is luxury, and not all luxury is fashion. The two categories of consumables are so often coupled together, like two carriages of a train, that it seems sometimes worth restating. Loro Piana presents on the calendar of Milan Fashion Week, so it’s partly coupled to the fashion train. Really, however, it is a luxury house that produces collections according to fashion’s seasonal rhythms but whose core appeal rests in the perception of connoisseurship. Its proprietary textile fabrications include Royal Lightness (an ultrafine wool-silk blend) and Gift of Kings (an ultra-ultra-fine merino). Similarly, its collections often hew toward a quite interesting cross-cultural mélange of perceived nobility that is occasionally seasoned with a dash of culture, but which rarely strikes you as being much about fashion.
