Loewe's Autumn-Winter 25 line-up marks designer Anderson's exit and features a joint effort with Albers
In a significant shift for the fashion industry, Loewe has unveiled its autumn/winter 2025 collection during Paris Fashion Week, marking the beginning of a new creative era for the Spanish brand.
The collection, developed in collaboration with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, was presented as an invitation-only event, fueling speculation about a change in creative direction. The new creative duo at the helm is Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who are known for their innovative designs as the founders and designers behind the fashion label Proenza Schouler.
Just a week after the Paris Fashion Week debut, it was announced that Jonathan Anderson, who had led Loewe since September 2013, was departing the brand. Anderson swiftly found a new role as the global creative director of Dior.
In a move towards social responsibility, Loewe has partnered with the Senegalese women's community centre, Les Foyers de Tambacounda. This partnership, which is a new initiative for the brand, will fund three key initiatives: Sutura, an art programme at Les Foyers, and The Tyre Recycling Project, all aimed at promoting sustainability and the circular economy.
Sutura is a local sewing collective that will receive funding to support their work, while the art programme at Les Foyers will be led by a professor from L'École des Beaux-Arts de Dakar. The Tyre Recycling Project aims to transform discarded tyres into useful products, providing a sustainable solution to waste management.
Meanwhile, Primark, another fashion retail giant, has announced its expansion plans in Spain. The company is set to open a store in Toledo on April 28 and has plans to invest 100 million and open eight new stores in the country. Additionally, Primark has launched a website, taking its first steps towards omnichannel in Spain.
As for the legacy of the influential artists, Josef and Anni Albers, their work continues to inspire. The Albers' foundation, based in the US, works to preserve and promote their work, representing the creative and experimental environment of the Bauhaus school of design and architecture.
In conclusion, the fashion world is abuzz with excitement as Loewe embarks on a new creative journey, while Primark continues its expansion and the Albers' legacy lives on. The focus on sustainability and social responsibility, as demonstrated by Loewe's partnership with Les Foyers de Tambacounda, is a promising sign for the future of the industry.
