Loewe

Fall/Winter 2018

Jonathan Anderson's Fall/Winter 2018 collection for Loewe was notable, largely because of the exquisite craftsmanship it displayed from a technical point of view. The leather-work that Loewe’s audience admires took a front seat - applied to an abundance of textures from furs, to wools, to knits. The overall cozy feeling- and at times shapeless layers of outerwear in this show- work because of their flawless construction. Though the first look offered us undergarments, outerwear took the spotlight of the show as a whole.

The Loewe woman is stylish while holding on unforgivably to elements of comfort and practicality, thus making the collection as a whole appear effortless. And furthermore, she is chic, artistic, and original while remaining incredibly respectable and refined. Perhaps it is under the lens of our current situation, but the looks presented on this runway seem to move so seamlessly between professionalism and leisure.

Jonathan Anderson is clearly a master in honoring Loewe’s sense of timelessness and as their creating director, he maintains a trustworthy brand identity in a time when the rest of the industry was rapidly gaining pace and chasing trends. The craftsmanship and detailed work in leather and fine materials that were already ingrained in the brand’s roots, were only elevated by the artfulness Anderson introduced to them. In doing so, he allows classic, refined techniques to be new and interesting with each season. This was not lost on Fall/Winter 2018, a collection that reminded us that outerwear could be as comforting as it is chic.
