LUC JACQUET’S DOCUMENTARY TRILOGY A journey through the director’s eyes to the traditional goat herders in Inner and Outer Mongolia, and their gentle existence under extreme conditions.
“ We have worked with the Loro Piana family for decades and are honored to be one of their few select retailers.” — BOB MITCHELL
Cashmere—The Origin of a Secret is the first film in a trilogy directed by Luc Jacquet, ecologist and Academy Awardwinning director of March of the Penguins, at the invitation of Loro Piana. In these three projects, the director explores the origin of the most iconic raw fibers for Loro Piana, stunning tributes to the brand’s excellences: cashmere, vicuna and the Gift of Kings®. Cashmere—The Origin of a Secret paints a portrait of enduring harmonies, intense harshness and sublime softness—excellences found in extremes. Drawing on a fascination with the delicate symbiosis between humans, animals and the environment, this is the first time Luc Jacquet has filmed a human experience of living in a world that is constantly challenged by the vicissitudes of nature. The first film in a trilogy, Cashmere—The Origin of a Secret, with its sweeping cinematic vistas, debuted live in several cities in late 2019. During the screening, an orchestra of 33 musicians performed live the original soundtrack of the documentary called Cyrille Aufort. The film can be also seen at loropiana.com.
