In celebration of its centenary, Loro Piana has unveiled Master of Fibres, a sumptuous tome published by Assouline and penned by English author, historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes, chronicling the illustrious journey of the iconic Italian maison. Rooted in excellence, savoir-faire, and an unwavering passion for the extraordinary, Loro Piana's narrative spans six generations of visionary entrepreneurs whose commitment to craftsmanship has propelled the brand to the pinnacle of luxury. This book meticulously charts the evolution of Loro Piana, revealing its transformation from a humble wool-trading company into a distinguished fashion house synonymous with the highest quality and elegance.
Through a series of in-depth interviews with members of the Loro Piana family and a treasure trove of photographs and historical documents from the archives, Foulkes invites readers on an extraordinary odyssey that encapsulates the spirit of Italian craftsmanship. The narrative unfolds a rich tapestry of milestones, from the mid-19th century passport granted to wool merchant Giovanni Loro Piana to the establishment of a luxury maison revered for its refined silhouettes and the rarest fibres on earth. Each page resonates with a profound appreciation for the artistry and tradition that define Loro Piana.
