Loewe F/W 2020.21 Paris

[Scouting Snapper]

You folks really think this is amazing lol...I know i'm out of my depth trying to break down the intricate details about designers creations i admit this ...But once again another collection i don't get the hype about ...It fails MY eye test ...I will take the TFS Fashionistas perspective on this ...I'm here to learn ...

This checks off a lot of boxes - I think he needs to start working on a true narrative for his collections now.

Ok...so I was rewatching some old shows just for nostalgia’s sake recently and I watched Fendi Spring 2000 and if I were JW, that’s exactly the direction I would move Loewe in.

I’m getting very tired - from all designers - with this obsession and, well, this crutch, really, of “playing with volume.” It’s too easy at this point to make something big and full and oversized and draped etc and call it “a search for a new silhouette.” Ok. Eye roll. It’s all very clownish now.

Anyway, that Spring 2000 Fendi collection would be a great blueprint for Loewe’s next stage because it still manages to be arty and quirky and very “craft” and “earthy” but is closer to the body, sexier, more playful and is meant to make a woman look healthy and beautiful...let’s not treat her like an experiment anymore.

I would like to disagree with you. Fendi SS 2000 is good, but it doesn’t look like it’s in JWA line of work at all. I do agree with you on the volume trend, however, the majority of the designers to stop should be picked. For someone like JWA it is in their DNA - he has been doing this for all his creative tenure, and shape, volume and texture, in a way related to ceramic crafts and architecture, are his signature and he does it so genuinely.
I do agree that a lot of others should stop though.

An interesting technical analysis on how the silhouettes were constructed and how Jonathan managed to incorporate those ceramic chest plates into clothes.
