In a first for the luxury house, Loro Piana will unveil its exhibition at Shanghai's Museum of Art Pudong (MAP), marking a century of exceptional textiles. Opening March 22, 2025, this landmark retrospective is part of a series of diversified global celebrations marking the maison's 100th anniversary.
Under the curatorial expertise of Judith Clark, the exhibition presents the maison's history from its familial origins through an immersive visual journey. Arranged in MAP's Jean Nouvel-designed galleries spanning 40,000m², the exhibition showcases an outstanding world of fibres, fabrics, icons, and symbols through archival treasures, contemporary artworks, and exquisitely crafted commissioned pieces.
The choice of Shanghai's MAP—a cultural cornerstone of the Lujiazui Riverside district—celebrates the house's masterful chain of hands in China. The museum's 13 galleries, totaling 5,800m², will host a luxury house exhibition for the first time since its 2021 opening. This setting pays homage to China's integral role in Loro Piana's narrative, where decades-long partnerships with local herders have preserved traditional cashmere craftsmanship while advancing textile innovation.
Through what curators describe as a "tactile and sensorial lens," visitors will experience the evolution of Loro Piana's distinctive style—characterized by its understated elegance and unparalleled quality. Running through May 5, 2025, these celebrations offer an intimate glimpse into the maison's legacy of excellence in luxury textile craftsmanship.
