When Steiner invited iconic South Tyrolean designer Martino Gamper to collaborate with the brand, their hearts set on experimenting with the Loden fabric, central to Rier’s vocabulary. Applying an action paint technique invented by Gamper onto the yarn as it was being woven at the historic Moessmer Loden mill, Gamper created a one-of-a-kind Loden fabric. Rier 2022 features a limited-edition of Loden coats, jackets, skirts and trousers made with this unique hand painted fabric.
