Loewe‘s Fall/Winter 2024 collection by Jonathan Anderson offered a blend of quirky luxury and bursts of chic sophistication. The show unfolded in a forest green setting adorned with Albert York’s idyllic landscapes, hinting at the exploration of provenance and heritage.
Anderson masterfully reimagined the classic Etonian morning coat, its elongated silhouette adding a touch of drama to the collection. Jersey gowns in striking hourglass shapes, cinched at the waist, exuded timeless elegance. Playful elements emerged throughout, with draped floral minidresses featuring oversized water droplet embellishments and cargo pants resembling jodhpurs on steroids.

Exquisite craftsmanship was evident in the metallic accents – wooden lapels on coats and jackets reminiscent of Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” added a touch of 1920s glamour. Anderson’s signature whimsy shone through in charming prints: turnip tops adorning flowing silks, trompe l’oeil caviar beading on sweatshirts, and even an image of a slumbering dog adorning a trapeze dress.
The collection wasn’t just about aesthetics; it prompted introspection. Anderson’s fascination with York’s paintings, once owned by Jackie Kennedy, sparked a meditation on the meaning of luxury and the allure of provenance. He delved into the concept of “the outsider looking in,” questioning the motivations behind collecting and the significance we imbue in objects.
While the show undeniably offered fashion as art, Anderson’s genius lies in his ability to bridge the gap between the extraordinary and the wearable. The collection featured covetable pieces like impeccable shearling jackets and luxurious double-breasted military coats, alongside the more avant-garde elements.
