Jonathan Anderson took an unconventional approach for Loewe’s Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection, opting for a still-life exhibition rather than a traditional runway show. Set inside the historic 18th-century mansion on Rue de l’Université—once home to Karl Lagerfeld—the presentation was a surreal blend of art, design, and fashion. Giant tomatoes, apples, and pumpkin sculptures by Anthea Hamilton were interspersed with meticulously crafted womenswear and menswear, reinforcing Anderson’s signature playfulness and conceptual depth.

The collection, described by the designer as a “scrapbook of ideas,” featured sculptural silhouettes and unexpected fabric manipulations. Windblown leather peacoats, trapeze-shaped jackets, and oversized baseball tees with exaggerated raglan sleeves redefined proportions in menswear. Meanwhile, the women’s collection highlighted draped jersey gowns reminiscent of the Roaring ’20s, structured leather coats adorned with cotton bibs, and cocktail dresses with strands of beaded organza resembling fiber-optic cables.

A standout element was the collaboration with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, translating geometric artworks into pleated skirts, dresses, and Loewe’s signature handbags. The attention to craftsmanship was evident, particularly in a houndstooth robe coat adorned with fine layers of printed cellophane, creating a shimmering, three-dimensional effect.

Though Anderson was absent from the presentation, his presence was deeply felt in every meticulously curated detail. With the brand’s Crafted World exhibition set to open in Tokyo later this month, Loewe continues to evolve—whether with or without Anderson at its helm remains the question on everyone’s mind.
