The brand’s Open Walk and
Summer Walk shoes similarly take
their cues from nautical excur-
sions: Their white soles, a blend
of natural rubber and technical
components, keep wooden decks
scuff-free, and they even have a
spot on the heel where you can
write your initials, so reclaiming
them is a cinch.
Ease is also at the center of Loro
Piana’s linen capsule collection,
available in July. Composed of a
handful of breezy, warm-weather
ready-to-wear pieces for men and
women—think espadrilles, airy
caftans, and white drawstring
pants—the grouping uses Solaire
Delave, a linen finished with aloe
vera, which helps the textile stay
crease-free.
The capsule “combines an Ital-
ian notion of effortless elegance
with an active move toward light
and lightness,” says Loro Piana
CEO Fabio d’Angelantonio.
Sounds like summer to us. loro
