It wasn’t Anna…

LSD?
I refuse to believe that LVMH would use head hunters today and that a bunch of talents just submitted their project.

Smells like Peter Do at Helmut Lang spirit...snoozefest incoming!

Agrees with this 1000%… Could be very short lived… (And that wouldn’t be a bad thing) What a very random appointment… Of all the designers who don’t have jobs they choose them? What are they doing right now to warrant this random appointment? I haven’t thought of or looked at what they have been doing in years… Many years at that!!

Say what you want about these designers but they really paved the way for this new generation of no-name designers. If it weren't for them we wouldn't have Sabato, McGirr and this new wave of mid.

Also, in their defense, looking back at their S/S 2014 show and don't these seem a bit...proto-Loewe? Not to mention they would all look great on Greta Lee or Ayo Edibiri.



fashion gone rogue

Those clothes are horrible. A shimmering sheer ankle length knit with a plunging V-neck. Where is anyone supposed to wear this? It also looks like it has finger holes...

You can say the same about JW's Loewe. Where can you even wear this?

Have yall seen some of JW work? The frilly shorts? I could see someone wearing a pleated maxi dress from Proenza, mora than some of the stuff from JW.

Aside from ripping off European designers I find that these guys have no taste or eye for dressing. Their world lacks a strong view on fashion as a whole. I find their appointment for Loewe a step back - sure they’ll emphasize craft and support Loewes excellent craft prize, but I’m pretty sure they’ll hide behind all this craft stuff. JW had some real ugly clothes, but they took risk and had a point of view, I can see these guys do neither of that. Loewe needs a strong point of view to elevate it above its accessories and if they don’t manage to do that it will surely affect those sales.
I also enjoyed some of the broader cultural aspects JW brought to the brand, the Ibiza collections where funny and on point, the craft prize was positioned with the right artisans and gallerists and his collabs where fun. It’s hard to top this. The best we can hope for is that they continue this a bit.

^ I share your concerns. I'm not so scared of what would happen design-wise, but more like they would make the brand completely void of its cultural aspect - which to me, is what makes Loewe special today.
