The Loewe spring/summer 2025 show was an intriguing spectacle from the very start. The show invitation, a simple gold ring attached to a leather cord, offered little clue to the creative journey that awaited. Then, upon arriving at the Esplanade Saint-Louis, the venue’s facade was adorned with musical scores, further fueling the anticipation. Was this a collection inspired by music? In the world of JW Anderson, nothing is ever quite so straightforward.
Stepping inside the venue, the deliberate darkness gave way to an eye-catching glare as the show began with a pulsating beat that morphed into a captivating symphony of electronic bird calls. The models emerged, dressed in whimsical floral dresses adorned with hoops that hung just below the knees, creating a dreamlike atmosphere as if the garments were caught in a sudden gust of wind.
The show’s pace was deliberate, purposeful, as orchestral conductor jackets, trenches, and leather skirts featured an upward movement, with details carefully affixed to the edges. Feathers transformed basic tees and bloomers into exquisite displays of craftsmanship and kitsch, punctuated by souvenir shop-worthy graphics bearing the names of Van Gogh, Frédéric Chopin, and Bach. This collection, it seemed, was a celebration of escapism, viewed through the lens of these great artists retreating into their own spaces of solace.
For those seeking to invest in pieces from this collection, know that Loewe pieces are known for their enduring quality, transcending fleeting trends. If you’re looking for a statement dress crafted with contemporary flair, the airy hoop dresses from the collection are bound to turn heads. For a versatile piece that transitions seamlessly from day to evening, the simple polo shirt with an attached drape tie is a perfect choice. And for those who favor outerwear, the trapeze-shaped biker jacket will be an investment piece you’ll cherish for years to come.
