More about the painter

Émile Vernon (1872-1919) was a French fine arts painter. Studying at the School of Fine Arts Tours in the Loire Valley, France, he won his first design award in 1888. Encouraged by this success, he moved to Paris to train under William Bouguereau and Auguste Trouphème in the School of Fine Arts. Specializing in watercolors, Vernon loved to paint women and children using bright colors in cheerful rural and bucolic settings.

Captured against the backdrop of a Scottish castle, the new Loro Piana Fall/Winter 2024-2025 Ad Campaign celebrates the Maison’s 100-year legacy and its ties to Scotland, a country with a rich textile heritage but also the land of the thistle flower – a natural tool historically used to brush and raise precious fabrics.  ​

Loro Piana’s history comes to life in a collection that exudes a sense of timeless sophistication with classic shapes and exclusive time-honoured fibres. From signature silhouettes and the Scottish Cheviot fabric to the emblematic fiore di cardo – part of the Maison’s coat of arms since 1951 – a picture of impeccable elegance emerges. The result is a powerful fusion of inspiration, heritage and exquisite savoir-faire.

The beautiful gardens of the Castle of Gourdon, Provence, France

This beautiful and meticulously trimmed garden of the Castle of Gourdon is close by Saint Paul de Vence - Provence, on top of the mountain. Its gardens were designed by Andre Le Notre, landscape gardener to Louis XIV, who designed the gardens at the château of Versailles. The picture shows the very precise hard work done by the gardeners, resulting in the geometrical shapes of the boxwood trees and the view of the impressive Canyon below the garden.
