Loewe Unveils Strikingly Unique Men's Collection for Fall 2024
Jonathan Anderson showcased his bold and inventive designs at the Loewe men's show for Fall 2024, featuring fusion outfits and luxury items.
A Collage of Media and Masculinity
At the Loewe men's show, Jonathan Anderson presented a collection that blended different elements and influences. The looks incorporated readily-assembled outfits, such as trench coats with sweater fronts and denim pant legs sewn in. The fusion of jackets, pants, and coats was reminiscent of Junya Watanabe's quest for new outerwear.
The show venue was adorned with the preening paintings of Richard Hawkins, an American artist known for his thirst-trap artwork. The runway theater showcased video montages, designed to resemble stained glass windows. Anderson described the collection as a 'collage of media,' with a strong focus on masculinity and the male sexual gaze.
Alongside the blending of media and masculinity, the collection also featured luxurious pieces. Elongated shearling cardigans, killer leather pants, and tote bags adorned with Hawkins' artworks in glass beads were among the standout items.
A Daring Departure and Playful Aesthetic
Jonathan Anderson, known for his daring and culturally attuned designs, made an interesting departure from his previous collection. He switched from ultra high-waisted trousers to jumbo, low-slung rave pants with cargo pockets and bondage straps. The designer paired retro ski sweaters with colorful track pants and camp shirts in tablecloth checks, creating a playful aesthetic.
Despite the departure from his signature style, Anderson still showcased Loewe's classic pieces. The collection also included handsome woolen coats and sleek leather outerwear for those who prefer a more traditional look.
One of the standout features of the collection was the incorporation of Richard Hawkins' artworks. His colorful pieces appeared on tapered pants, long cardigans, and hoodies. Anderson's decision to blend high culture with normal clothes symbolized a leveling off in contemporary culture.
Loewe Continues to Impress and Innovate
Loewe once again proved its position as a leader in fashion with its inventive and original collection. The Fall 2024 collection exuded youthfulness, fun, and spunk. It showcased Loewe's ability to stand above the fashion pack in terms of invention, originality, and verve.
The show attracted a star-studded front row, with handsome actors like Andrew Garfield, Jamie Dornan, and Nicholas Hoult in attendance. The collection received high praise and solidified Loewe's position as a brand barreling towards fashion's biggest leagues.
