THE STORY
Militaries of the late 19th century and early 20th century were closely tied to the nobility of those eras. Long a staple within the dignified wardrobes of such high ranking figures and officers of public society, it is not surprising then that the classic Anorak silhouette was familiar to the royal families of the times and became one of the preferred garments of winter recreational activities. As it is today and was then, popular culture followed the trends of those “Royals” and their attire. Knowing full well the protective and comfortable characteristics offered by garments of military origin, adoption of such authentic silhouettes by the first female alpinists of first class heritage became both common and desirable to the masses. The Anorak with its refined simplicity of purpose and styling cut an elegant figure on the mountain and when coupled with the refined and streamline pants of the times presented the first “must have” head-to-toe look of alpine sport fashion. Alps & Meters revisits this long-forgotten garment of skiing celebrity with the introduction of the Women’s Alpine Anorak Loro Piana. Made in Italy and designed with world class woolen fibers from famed Loro Piana mill, including a helmet compatible hood, and feminine fit attributes, the Women’s Alpine Anorak Loro Piana conveys a romantic and stylish sensibility drawn from the romance of alpine sport’s noble past.
BUILT WITH LORO PIANA STORM SYSTEM® FABRIC
Loro Piana Storm System® is an extraordinary generation of fabrics that combines the insulating and thermal properties of wool, cashmere and other natural fibers with protection against snow, wind and rain.
Storm System® comprises a double barrier: Rain System® water repellent treatment, and exclusive hydrophilic membranes that are water resistant, transpiring and windproof. The hydrophilic membrane, applied to the back of the fabric through a lamination process designed and implemented by Loro Piana, is micro molecular, without pores.
It is water repellent yet perfectly breathable, lightweight, elastic and resistant, creating an invisible barrier around each fiber so that drops of water bead away from the surface while protecting the fabric from dust, dirt and liquid stains.
