LOEWE Goes Neurotic, Psychedelic, and Hysterical for Spring Summer 2022

Fashion & Style

GLOBAL RELEASE—Marking his return to the runway, Jonathan Anderson ushers in the LOEWE Spring Summer 2022 collection with an experimental statement that delivers a point of departure to open a new chapter.

For this showing, provocation, sensuality, movement and amusement break up the LOEWE mould. In devising a vision rooted in the moment, Anderson looks at the mannerist, hysterical world of Renaissance painter Pontormo, exploring notions of draping, sculpting and color by way of torsions, diversions and  distortions—translating a renaissance of sorts.

The line is vertical. The body is twisted, turned, contorted. Long dresses protrude   in unexpected places, metal plates are integrated into coats and dresses, drawing an altered body, augmenting the reality of dressing into another dimension. Capes like wings define erotic manga characters, while draped elements hang, fall, turn   all over.

Denim, too, is treated in sculptural ways, while sequins and flounces are a moment of shimmer and flutter. Long dresses emanate from torsos cast in resin. Reduction is the byword: silhouettes are divided in chapters, building up moments that add nuance to a vision of the now.

Dresses with 3D metal wire elements underneath. Trench coats. Draped tops, dresses and leggings. Giant trousers and blousons; twisted denim jackets and skirts. Sequin slip dresses with flounces. Sequin miniskirts and jumpers. Elongated sleeves and culottes. Revealing holes and slits.

Pumps and sandals have ready-made heels – soap bars, candles, eggs, a nail  polish, a rose – as to suggest fragility and spontaneity. The Flow runner comes in a compostable plastic version that reveals the feet. Soft teddy bear fabric boots fall loosely around the ankle. Bags include a draped Goya long clutch and the Flamenco in teddy bear fabric. The curvaceous LOEWE Luna bag comes in smooth leather and in Anagram jacquard. The Hammock Nugget in nappa calf adds new proportions to an enduring LOEWE style. Colorful sterling silver bracelets decorate the wrist.

New archetypes are defined. A collection that asks to be seen flowing in movement, as experimentation unfolds on living bodies in a real space.
