SEASE JOURNAL

Land and Sea Stories

SEASE was born from the sea.
Today, it takes a further step towards protecting its native element, putting its textile research at the service of science for an expedition to Svalbard.Between late July and early August 2026, in the heart of the Norwegian Arctic, an explorer vessel by ICON Yachts sailed the waters of the Svalbard archipelago. Not simply a journey, but a research mission: on board, a team of scientists coordinated by the non-profit International SeaKeepers Society collected essential data on marine life and the state of the ocean. The expedition was conceived and managed by Cookson Adventures, pioneers in expeditions to some of the most remote places on the planet, with strategic support from Hyle Consulting. As the official technical sponsor, SEASE equipped the entire team with a high-performance polar kit featuring its iconic Solaro fabric and high-performance natural fibres: a precise balance of protection from the elements, functionality, and unmistakable sartorial style.

The sea is not a seasonal resource, but the place where we were born. It is the starting point for our entire design language: high-performance natural materials, constructions designed for movement, and details created to respond to real conditions. An experience among the Arctic ice represents the most demanding testing ground for our sartorial research. To face polar temperatures and offshore navigation, we developed a dedicated technical kit for the scientific team and guests: garments made from our iconic Solaro fabric and the finest high-performance natural fibres, combining protection from the elements with contemporary elegance. Proof that functionality and refined style can coexist, even at the most extreme latitudes.

At the heart of the collaboration is Katia Griffiths, SEASE ambassador. An Olympic skier with a degree in marine biology, Katia takes centre stage aboard the expedition, bringing an authentic perspective to the project. Not a testimonial in the traditional sense, but a voice that embodies the brand’s values in a tangible way, bringing together scientific expertise and a genuine sensitivity towards the marine environment. “The sea is where SEASE was born and where it continues to find its purpose. Supporting this expedition means putting our sartorial research at the service of those who work every day to protect and understand our oceans. It is a commitment that feels deeply aligned with the identity of the brand.” Franco Loro Piana – Founder & CEO, SEASE

REDEFINING EXPLORATION: MICCA FERRERO

BEYOND CONVENTIONAL ROUTES

Within the contemporary world of explorer yachting, Micca Ferrero’s vision sets ICON Yachts apart from traditional shipyards. Acquired by the Swiss entrepreneur in 2021, the Dutch shipyard based in Harlingen has established itself as a global reference in the conversion, refit and construction of explorer yachts capable of navigating the most extreme routes. Micca Ferrero’s approach is rooted in a philosophy of conscious transformation: repurposing high-performance vessels - as in the case of the renowned LEGEND, a former 77-metre icebreaking tug transformed into an ice-class explorer yacht - into sophisticated vessels designed to support scientific research and discovery.

At the heart of the collaboration lies a shared vision: to explore the unknown without ever compromising on performance, design and purpose. SEASE and ICON Yachts are driven by the same attitude: to go beyond established routes while maintaining the highest standards of performance and aesthetics. For SEASE, born from the sea, an expedition to the Arctic represents the ultimate testing ground for its sartorial research. For ICON Yachts, it reflects a natural drive to reach the most remote corners of the planet. Two worlds driven by the same passion for exploration, the pursuit of authentic beauty, and the desire to leave a tangible and lasting legacy.
