Loro Piana Fall/Winter 2026 Campaign Shot at Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel

other · 2026-07-08

The Fall/Winter 2026–27 campaign for Loro Piana, captured by Mario Sorrenti, took place at notable cultural sites in Houston, Texas. These included the former residence of John and Dominique de Menil, the Menil Collection, designed by Renzo Piano, and the Rothko Chapel. Accompanying the visuals is a live performance by saxophonist Richard "Dickie" Landry, who was part of the Rothko Chapel's inauguration in 1987. Loro Piana is actively supporting these institutions by funding the Menil Collection in anticipation of its 40th anniversary and aiding in the restoration of the Rothko Chapel through the Opening Spaces initiative. Previous campaigns have highlighted homes associated with architects Cini Boeri and Oscar Niemeyer, as well as artist Balthus.
