Loro Piana has set sail for an exotic island getaway with its Summer Resort 2024 collection, infusing timeless elegance with a touch of bohemian flair. Drawing inspiration from the idyllic white-sand beaches and straw-roofed bungalows of a far-flung paradise, the collection captures the essence of "la vie heureuse" – the happy life, as Tahitians say.
The Italian luxury brand, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and use of the finest natural fibers, has created a resort wardrobe that effortlessly blends classic and contemporary influences. The collection features simple, pure lines and a relaxed fit, enhanced by unique details and a color palette that ranges from deep blue to shades of kummel, punctuated by multicolored stripes and all-over Tree of Life or Hibiscus Flower prints.
Loro Piana's mastery in transforming noble fibers into luminous, impalpable, and cool silks, linens, and cottons is showcased throughout the collection. The linen garments, crafted in the Maison's exclusive and iconic Solaire and Antigua finishes, epitomize the freedom of summer with their flowing, refined silhouettes. Standout pieces include jumpsuits in linen or silk floral prints for women and the Spagna Jacket in Antigua linen for men, a more casual version of one of the Loro Piana Icons.
The collection's versatile shapes and loose volumes are designed to evoke a sense of ease and sophistication. Women can indulge in wide-legged trousers, wrap skirts, and kimono-sleeved cropped T-shirts, while men can opt for bermudas, caftans, and overshirts in textured weaves. Vests and shorts embroidered with aloe-fiber-and-cashmere thread add a touch of luxury to the bohemian aesthetic.
Accessories play a key role in capturing the retro spirit of summer nostalgia, with new additions like the cherry-wood wicker basket, straw hats, and leather sandals, including the Naha slipper with three straps and embossed details. The Arakawa cap in Mulberry silk and the Floaty moccasin in macramé pay homage to Loro Piana's artful way with knitwear.
The star of the collection is undoubtedly the new Cedar bucket bag, a perfect encapsulation of the Maison's savoir-faire. Crafted from Rounded Calf leather and natural rattan hand-woven on looms, the bag features an adjustable double leather handle with large metal clasps and a frog closure inspired by Loro Piana's iconic cedar ball.
The Loro Piana Summer Resort 2024 collection is a testament to the brand's commitment to luxury, practicality, and sophistication, offering a feeling of escape in synergy with nature. The collection is available now in selected Loro Piana boutiques and at loropiana.com.
