In a constant game of fashion musical chairs, some changes make us more emotional than others. Jonathan Anderson’s now-ending tenure at Loewe – the Spanish luxury house he revived over the past ten years – is one of the eras we will look at most fondly.
Teased by a reel posted by the designer on his Instagram (not going to lie, we shed a tear or two while watching it), Anderson’s final collection for the brand perfectly rounded up his singular take on modern dressing. Hosted inside palatial Parisian interiors, the presentation featured a range of mannequins theatrically placed around the grand space.
A group of static “models” showcased some of this season’s most exciting leather jackets and coats, constructed out of strips gathered by belts used as trims. Two tailored suits in sand and navy were juxtaposed with pairs of over-the-knee leather boots that riffed on practical fishing gear. A rainbow of cocktail dresses made out of strings of necklaces created a refreshing idea on nighttime dressing, while draped gowns in cream and lilac showed us for one last time Anderson’s magical touch in construction before he announces his plans for the future.
