With faces veiled by elongated feathers, the silhouettes of the men seemed to emerge from a fairy tale or a myth, walking with a breath of freedom. From the beginning, the tailoring offered a lesson in elegance and precision as the looks developed with convincing twists. Skin-revealing metallic vests evoke the links of a watch strap. Bare-chested silhouettes accentuate draped, billowy pants. Formal shirts woven with spiral flowers to the thighs. Luxury materials reveal coatings as refined as the exterior. The shiny leather finishes on the ensembles reveal legs and the capes look ready to take flight, LVMH said in a press release.
Jonathan Anderson's Loewe collection at La Garde Républicaine in Paris fused mythical inspiration with precise tailoring, with feathered veils and billowing silhouettes evoking a sense of freedom. The line highlights metallic details, woven florals and luxurious materials, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and innovative design.
While checks were the dominant motif, a hand-embroidered polo shirt with feathers in a houndstooth pattern showed off impressive details. Japanese Shibori dyeing is used for white blouses as light as scarves, expressing Loewe's deep attachment to centuries-old artisanal techniques. Loewe once again demonstrated its art of illusion when double-circle ostrich leather belts tied together blouses and pants, drawing the eye to the waist. A subtle reflection of the male body and the construction of the garments for looks as unrestrained and radical as the collection itself.
