On the Upper East Side, candlelight flickered across canvases and couture as Loro Piana hosted an intimate dinner at Manhattan’s Frick Collection, celebrating the 2025 Ryder Cup. Europe’s best golfers were dressed for comfort, style, and success wearing designs by the Italian luxury brand, just as they did in 2016, when Loro Piana first designed uniforms for Team Europe. 

The athletes and entourages of Team Europe at the Ryder Cup, a biennial competition between U.S. and European golf teams, are dressed in Loro Piana’s enduring and versatile pieces—allowing for movement and elegance on and off the course.

At the Frick, art isn’t just viewed—it’s inhaled, lived, absorbed. The pieces are housed in industrialist and patron of the arts Henry Clay Frick’s historic former home, providing an intimate setting for the exclusive dinner. The historic galleries, once Frick’s own quarters, glowed under candlelight, softened by delicate floral compositions that whispered the brand’s timeless aesthetic. It was a night that placed sport and art in the same frame—each a discipline of beauty, mastery, and legacy.

The guest list mirrored the setting’s sophistication: Jeremy Strong, Jessica Springsteen, James and Nicky Rothschild, Sophia Cohen, Daniel Arsham, and more—an ensemble of athletes, artists, designers, and tastemakers who, like the brand itself, move seamlessly between worlds. Over fine wine and carefully plated courses, it was a night where sport wore silk, art met athleticism, and luxury found its perfect stage.
