Loro Piana Honors Cashmere Herders at The Brant Foundation in New York City

This month, luxury brand Loro Piana is shining a spotlight on cashmere at The Brant Foundation in New York City. The event marks the 11th edition of its prestigious Cashmere of the Year Award, which recognizes the herders who produce the finest cashmere fiber.

The award has been running since 2015 and this year's ceremony sees Loro Piana honoring three couples from Inner Mongolia for their exceptional work in producing high-quality cashmere. In addition to the award presentation, the brand is also hosting an immersive installation called "Master of Cashmere: The Quest for Fiber Excellence."

The multi-room experience takes visitors on a journey through the process of creating cashmere, from its origins to Loro Piana's involvement with the material. On display are archival sketches, informative timelines, and ample opportunities to touch and feel the luxurious fiber.

As part of this celebration, Loro Piana is also expanding its reach into new territory - Las Vegas. The Corner Store, a trendy hotspot in New York City known for its adventurous martinis and wood-paneled interiors, has opened its doors at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, marking its first location outside Manhattan.
