Loro Piana Cashmere of the Year Award

A celebration of the herders who make Loro Piana excellence possible.    Now in its 11th edition, the Loro Piana Cashmere of the Year Award encourages herders to produce ever-finer cashmere fibres, pushing the boundaries of fineness. Taking place at the Brant Foundation in New York, this year’s edition honours achievements from 2025, with the first prize going to Mr. Siqingbilige and Mrs. Hasiqiqige for achieving a fibre diameter of a mere 12.89 microns. The award ceremony is accompanied by an immersive Master of Cashmere: The Quest for Fibre Excellence exhibition, highlighting the Maison’s heritage and incredible savoir-faire. Visitors embark on the exquisite fibre’s journey of transformation and learn more about the House’s initiatives dedicated to improving fibre finesse and empowering the cashmere ecosystem. #LoroPiana
