With faces veiled by elongated feathers, the men’s silhouettes seemed to emerge from a fairy tale or myth, walking with a breath of freedom. From the outset, the tailoring offered a lesson in elegance and precision as looks unfolded with compelling twists. Skin-revealing metallic waistcoats evoke watchband links. Bare-chested silhouettes accentuate billowing draped pants. Knit floral formal shirts spiral down to the thighs. Luxe materials reveal linings as refined as the exterior. Shiny leather finishes on ensembles reveal legs, and capes look ready to take flight, LVMH said in a press release.
Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe collection at La Garde Républicaine in Paris merged mythical inspiration with precise tailoring, featuring feathered veils and billowing silhouettes that evoke a sense of freedom.
The lineup highlights metallic details, knit florals, and luxurious materials, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and innovative design.
While checks were the dominant motif, a polo shirt hand-embroidered with feathers in a houndstooth pattern showcased breathtaking detail. Japanese Shibori dyeing is used for white tops as light as scarves, expressing Loewe’s deep attachment to centuries-old craft techniques. Loewe once again demonstrated its art of illusion as double-circled ostrich leather belts linked tops and pants, drawing the eyes to the waist. A subtle reflection on the male body and garment construction for looks as unbridled and radical as the collection itself.
