Jonathan Anderson Says Farewell To Loewe With The Fall/Winter 2025 Collection

Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson unveiled his final Fall/Winter men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collection during Paris Fashion Week at the 18th-century Hôtel de Maisons. To close out his legendary run at the House, Anderson decided upon a presentation rather than his well-known runway shows. Still holding true to the grandeur of his shows, the presentation spanned seventeen rooms where the collection unfolded alongside an eclectic curation of works from Loewe’s own art collection and installations featuring familiar elements from previous shows, campaigns, and the Loewe ateliers.

Anderson refers to this collection as ‘a scrapbook of ideas,’ playing on the House’s infamous codes tropes such as trompe l’oeil, distorted scales, and volumes, all filtered through art and artisanal craft, which led to a collaboration with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation. The work of mid-century artists serves as his central inspiration and point of departure with nested squares or color blocks from Josef Albers’ Homage to the Square series metamorphosing the brand’s familiar forms of the Puzzle, Flamenco clutch, Amazona, and other bags. Artist Anni Alber’s pictorial weavings, which celebrate thread as a vehicle for artistic exploration, bring a graphic-like tactility to coats and signature bags.

The dialogue between menswear and womenswear is organic and seamless. Presenting an optical and artistic point of view, soft architectures are drawn on and around the body. Leather is spliced, draped, and elongated, jersey dresses are sculptured into round forms, while familiar wardrobe staples like shirts, knits, and coats, are fused together in blunt hybrids. The collection hones in on the exploration of scale, zooming in and out, with solid silhouettes that are made of micro elements like a tiny ring that becomes a top. Slicing is a key technique used throughout offering an experience to view fashion as something permeable rather than static.

A Prince of Wales check is seen liquified into bold metallic fringes while dresses in beaded organza strands take on the illusion of see-through. Surface treatments add a sense of granularity, and dense beading weaves throughout, from clothing to accessories and toy mules, while the beloved Ballet Runner 2.0 is recreated in shearling for the cold weather season. A new chapter for the brand for sure with the departure of Jonathan Anderson—and we can’t wait to see where he goes next.
