As usual in the fashion industry, the Boutiques of Loewe present the new fashion and accessory collection for the autumn/winter season 2025/2026 at the beginning of late summer. However, these women’s and men’s collections are not just other lines of recent years. These are the last designs of Jonathan Anderson, who headed the Spanish fashion house from September 2013 to March 17, 2025 as creative director.
The collection for autumn/winter 2025/2026 combines the end of Anderson’s era at Loewe with the departure into a new phase under the direction of the designer duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. It was presented in March as part of the Paris fashion week – but not in the form of a fashion show, but as an exclusive presentation. This new format reinforced the rumors about an upcoming change in the creative directorate. The expected departure of Jonathan Anderson was officially announced less than a week after the end of the fashion week. Shortly afterwards, the appointment of McCollough and Hernandez to the new creative directors followed, while Anderson himself was appointed Dior’s new global creative director.
In the middle of the change in the design departments by Loewe, Dior and Proenza Schouler, the Loewe collection for autumn/winter 2025/2026 is presented. Again, it underlines Anderson’s appreciation for art and craft, which he established as a characteristic feature of Loewe. The collection is a perfect summary of its twelve -year work as a creative director. It is not only a review of the Anderson era, but also the starting point for future development under McCollough and Hernandez. Their first collection for Loewe will be presented at the Paris fashion week in September.
Cooperation with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation
The collection designed by Jonathan Anderson was created in cooperation with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation. This cultural and visual foundation based in the USA is committed to the preservation and appreciation of the work of Josef and Anni Albers. The two artists were among the most influential personalities of the art world of the 20th century and embody the creative and experimental environment of the Bauhaus, which consisted of its foundation by Walter Gropius in 1919 until his closure by the NSDAP in 1933.
Loewe’s cooperation with the foundation of the two former Bauhaus students and teachers combines the Savoir-Faire and Loewe’s leather craftsmanship with some of the best-known works by Josef and Anni Albers. Josef Albers ‘painting and Anni Albers’ textile and image compositions can be found in the form of clothing and accessories in the collection. The pieces are already available. The advertising campaign, photographed by Arnaud Lajeunie, is presented by personalities who are connected to the Spanish fashion house, including the British actress Raffey Cassidy, the Austrian actor Felix Kammerer, the Chinese actor Jiang Qiming and the British actress Lesley Manville. Manville traveled to Madrid in May to attend the award of the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2025.
Anderson’s focus on ‘the continuous examination of craft and art’ continues in cooperation with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation. The partnership has produced ‘clothing and accessories, which are characterized by their haptic approach to surfaces,’ said the Spanish fashion house. They are inspired by Josef Albers ” Homage to the Square ‘paintings and Anni Albers’ image weaving, ‘who celebrated the yarn as a means of artistic research’.
Partnership with the women’s center ‘Les Foyers de Tambacounda’ in Senegal
In addition to working with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, Loewe supports the women’s center ‘Les Foyers de Tambacounda’ in Senegal. In cooperation with the NGO Le Korsa, which leads the center, Loewe finances three initiatives: Sutura, a local sewing collective; an art program in Les Foyers, led by a teacher of the L’école des Beaux-Arts de Dakar; And the ‘Tire Recycling Project’, which promotes sustainability and circular economy by recycling altires.
