Loro Piana Knit Design Award 2026

The Loro Piana Knit Design Award 2026, Knitting Light​ – Craft on the Evolution of Colour. The Knit Design Award invites students from leading fashion and design schools from around the world to reinterpret the Maison’s signature yarns. For this year’s edition, circling around the notion of Knitting Light, participants are encouraged to explore the spectrum of Loro Piana’s vibrant nuances and light effects by combining cashmere with an array of special yarns. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Knit Design Award, highlighting the Maison’s commitment to promoting the designers and knitwear experts of tomorrow. From the debut 2017 edition through to today, the initiative is underpinned by a shared passion for knitwear, inspiring creative and innovative approaches to the House’s signature yarns. Throughout the past decade, the submissions have changed from prototypes to full silhouettes – an evolution that is showcased through a dedicated exhibition at the Galleria Rossana Orlandi in Milan. #LoroPiana #LoroPianaKnitDesignAward
