Jonathan Anderson Makes LOEWE His Own

LOEWE’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection is the first womenswear collection under creative director Jonathan Anderson—and his influence shows.

While the Spanish heritage brand has remained a luxurious yet quiet and unassuming label during its 168-year-old history, Anderson’s new role as creative director for LOEWE has already had a bit of a louder impact as compared to recent collections. For Spring/Summer 2015, the London-based wunderkind lets his signature artistry and architectural influence flow freely in each piece of the collection.

During this transitional weather season, contrast fabrication is also key for LOEWE Spring/Summer 2015. Anderson recently told Vogue, “When I went to Spain I felt linen and cotton were fundamental. Linen and cotton with leather felt modern; it felt real.”

The designer’s use of warmer tones and surrealist fabrics is also present on pieces such as the Interwoven Optic Top, woven with navy suede and white leather and featuring a warped checker print that finishes with an uneven hem. Asymmetrical shapes continue in the Gathered Center Seam Top, where ruched suede connects one part short-sleeve and one part capelet in the middle. Cut-outs also appear in the most unexpected places: on the stomach of the belly-bearing Front-Slit Sweater and at the shoulders of the Knit Tank Top.

Anderson’s debut womenswear collection for LOEWE is a reprise of the brand’s commitment to progressive design, connecting its cult followers to newer fans.
