the Code: Shop ItSAIL INTO
STYLE
Make SEASE, a new
Italian label,
your go-to for pieces
that work from
boat to boardroom
When Franco Loro
Piana’s family sold
its legendary textile and
fashion business, he and
his brother, Giacomo,
sought to define some-
thing intensely personal
to them: surfing, sailing,
and sport. The result is
Sease, a new label that
fuses luxury and perfor-
mance, two things the
Italians are historically
pretty good at.
The coat shown here
is made with a cloth cus-
tomarily used in Milanese
suits, but it comes in a
very nontraditional blend
of wool and bio-based
nylon for breathability
and waterproofing. “We
didn’t set out to make
a purely sport collec-
tion—these pieces work
just as well for you in
your city life,” says Loro
Piana, who keeps a surf-
board in his office in Mi-
lan. “It makes you feel a
bit happier.” Find Sease
online (sease.it) or in its
New York City pop-up
later this month, cre-
ated with luxury retailer
Moda Operandi. —N. S.- • • Saks Fifth Avenue’s New York City flagship has created an epic, Gatsby-evoking
chamber of watches and jewelry called the Vault. It features six shop-in-shops from luxury
brands such as Chanel, Chopard, and Piaget—all with their own VIP rooms—in addition
to eight vendor-designed shops, from Baume & Mercier, Franck Muller, Hermès, and others.
The interior design has the allure of a bank from the 1920s: vault doors, sculptures inspired
by safe deposit boxes, rich leather accents. Check out one of the private rooms and you
just might leave feeling the whole experience was made specifically for you. —Alyssa Sims
