Introduction to Loewe’s Debut Collection
Linda Fargo, SVP for fashion and shop presentation director at Bergdorf Goodman, had high praise for Hernandez and McCollough’s Loewe debut. She stated that Jack and Lazaro showed a natural affinity for Loewe’s codes, being respectful while remaining true to themselves.
A Debut of Innovative Silhouettes
Their consistently innovative silhouettes and redesigned clothing modes, as well as their artistic use of textures and materials, were perfectly suitable for the brand. This debut was a quick start, beginning with an alarm skin and moving with a rapid intensity of purpose and self-confidence. It is no surprise that the applause began before the models ended the final walk.
Loewe SS26 Collection
The Loewe SS26 collection featured a range of stunning pieces, including asymmetrical hemlines, rounded shoulders, and a sharp injection of Loewe’s saturated, lively Spanish flair.
Reactions from Industry Experts
Nick Brown, co-founder and managing partner of Imaginary, found the debut incredible, stating that it was commercial, portable, and beautiful. He expressed excitement for the talented individuals who had landed great jobs.
Editorial Perspective
Chloe Malle, head of editorial content for Vogue, described the debut as brave, bright, and electrical. She noted the strong tribes of silhouettes, including asymmetrical hemlines and rounded shoulders, which were reminiscent of Proenza. The collection also featured a sharp injection of Loewe’s style, with saturated, lively Spanish flair.
Key Pieces from the Collection
The sloppy, box-shaped bag that appeared on the runway was a hero accessory, feeling like a hit that was out of control. The collection also included kinked rain hats, slick windbreakers, and PVC hubspin-zehner classes, making it feel like a collection that could be worn in all weather conditions.
