The Art of the Ride: Loro Piana’s Roman Triumph at Piazza di Siena 2025

Gold, Grace, and Gallop: Loro Piana Rides High at Piazza di Siena 2025

There are few things more timeless than a horse in motion – except perhaps the quiet, unwavering elegance of Loro Piana.

In the dappled heart of Rome, where pine trees sway above marble statues and the air is rich with tradition, the 92nd Concours de Saut International Officiel unfolded once again in the historic Piazza di Siena, nestled inside the verdant expanse of Villa Borghese. And this year, as ever, Loro Piana did not simply attend – it elevated the experience.

From May 22nd to 25th, 2025, the Maison reaffirmed its deep and decades-spanning commitment to the equestrian world – not merely as sponsor, but as cultural co-author of this refined sporting ritual. With its trademark blend of technical innovation and quiet Italian luxury, Loro Piana brought a sense of narrative to every stitch, every stride, every silent intake of breath before the jump.

A Legacy of Motion and Style

The connection runs deep. Since 1985, when the Loro Piana Jumping Team first made its debut, the House has not only outfitted world-class athletes, but shaped the very silhouette of the sport. From the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 to the present day, the Maison’s designs have transcended utility to become icons in their own right — like the celebrated Horsey® jacket, a symbol of equestrian chic.

This year, the House’s champions — Edwina Tops Alexander and Lorenzo De Luca — took to the course under the now-iconic gold and blue banner, in looks that masterfully married heritage with innovation. Their uniforms? A modern twist on the classic Spagna jacket, reimagined in exclusive navy Bristol wool with an ochre cashmere Pima collar and hand-finished crest buttons — precision-tailored and whisper-soft, made to move with the rider and against the wind.

Paired with optical white Jodhpurs in stretch jersey and leisurewear pieces crafted from Linen Silk Belt Storm® and Windmate® Storm System®, the ensembles embodied everything Loro Piana stands for: quiet confidence, sensory luxury, and intelligent performance.

Where Heritage Meets Horizon

But Loro Piana’s presence goes beyond fashion. It is about preserving tradition while cultivating future values. Piazza di Siena is more than a showjumping arena — it is a cultural amphitheatre where sustainability, beauty, and sport intertwine. Since 2018, restoration efforts led by the Italian Equestrian Federation have revived the venue’s botanical and artistic heritage, making it a true green jewel in the Roman crown.

For Loro Piana, this harmony between nature, movement, and excellence is a perfect match. As the Maison continues to invest in this space, it also renews its commitment to the values of fair play, discipline, and elegance in motion.

The Art of the Ride

To watch the competition unfold is to witness a ballet between horse and rider, history and future, fabric and air. And in that rarefied choreography, Loro Piana doesn’t simply dress the moment — it defines it.

As the sun set over the Eternal City, brushing the course with its golden light, one thing was clear: Piazza di Siena isn’t just a competition — it’s a celebration of style, soul, and the silent power of excellence. And no one captures that quite like Loro Piana.
