Creative Director Jonathan Anderson brilliantly set the scene for his newest collection for Spanish fashion house Loewe at a Parisian venue-turned-art gallery adorned with dreamy greenery and a backdrop of 18 paintings, each depicting blossoming floral Edens.

Famously collected by Jacqueline Kennedy, many of the late Albert York’s paintings are held in The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and now gracefully splattered across the collections mood board.

Staying true to the signature Anderson aesthetic, the collection unites contrasting silhouettes to create ensembles that somehow make sense, whether it be a tailcoat paired with ballooned parachute pants, flowing asymmetric dresses paired with leather boots, and spontaneous yet imaginative embroidered tapestries of pooches plastered across structured attire.

Tempting-to-touch tactile fabrics and voluminous forms are dribbled onto trousers, blouses, and dresses. Classic autumnal staples like overcoats, bombers, knit jumpers and trousers, and cozy shearling vests are modeled down the runway. Captivating rose, daisy, and tulip floral motifs were planted on dresses, shirts, and pants, while a trip to the grocery store inspired top and trouser sets. An opposing plaid is tacked onto statement long-sleeved and sleeveless dresses.

Steering away from the usual vibrant hues synonymous with the Loewe house, this season’s nature-inspired theme created a neutral and dainty palette consisting of basic black and beiges, classic creams, nautical navy, garden greens, petal pinks, dusty denim blue, minty green, burgundy, grey, and a splash of cherry red.

Staple Loewe bags and footwear including the iconic “Squeeze” bag are styled, with iterations daubed in hand-beaded floral, animal, and vegetable prints. An avant-garde asparagus bag proved to be the star of the show- who knew veggies could be so chic?

Loewe’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection is not only an appreciation of Albert York’s work, but it is also the reflection of Jonathan Anderson’s position in fashion, a quirky and fantastical artist himself.
