Loewe S/S 2026 Paris

A non-event. Same as their own collections.

They won’t last.

So why can't they style it their own way? Daniel Lee worked with Phoebe and comes from the same "school of design". He managed to develop his own point of view, both at Bottega and Burberry.

I'm sorry but I disagree. From A-Z so much of what he did could have been her Celine and you'd be none of the wiser. That doesn't make it bad because it clearly wasn't, but the point of origin story is getting really tired. To bring it back home, you can fault a designer for working with a trend. That's just good practice.

I strongly disagree about Daniel, but I guess it's subjective.
You can work with a trend and make it your own, show it through your lens, infuse with your sensibility. That's good practice. P&S don't do it. It is understandable when it comes to their brand, especially considering how difficult american fashion industry is, but at Loewe I expect more. They have all the means to do better.

what department store brand did they take all of these from? If this gets to be in paris, i think pilati's brand should start showing there too.

I'd say Lee did a lot of stuff that isn't really Philo-coded at Bottega and particularly now at Burberry, but even if he didn't, it was also his Céline because he was the director of ready-to-wear there for a while. Some of Céline's greatest hits may have been literally his work.

Just like their usual NYFW collections, a little bit of Phoebe, a little bit of Nicolas, and obviously a lot of JWA, but this time with the Loewe name and price tag.
I'm probably going to forget about this collection when I close this thread.

I can’t believe people reason their collection getting bad reviews because they’re American. Maybe it's just the fact that after 20 years in the industry and they still don't have anything to call their own. They got to where they are right now by just borrowing from here and there, maybe it's good enough for some people, but not for me.

It's a shame that Loewe just became basic, bland and worst irrelevant to me.

Jodie Barnes styled the show…

He’s as boring as Alistair Mckimm. They are both just kiss-a** stylists, painful. Where they show up, it’s “correct” at best, but in reality very mediocre.

 

[Fiercification]

As expected this is dry as hell (or make that dry as the Sahara). Some recycled ideas from JW, Phoebe and their own work but nothing interesting. What are those towel dresses? More meme worthy fashion.

Boring cast and a forgettable show overall. No doubt Loewe will be plunged right back into irrelevance and this coming from someone who quite enjoyed Vevers' output.

And LOL @ them walking out for the finale in Polo RL shirts like preppy frat boys.

 

[fruitdots]

They just feel like placeholder designers to me. LVMH is happy with what JW Anderson did at Loewe, and doesn't want to upset the apple cart, hence Jack and Lazaro. Whether this strategy will work is an open question. Loewe is an extraordinarily cool brand right now (thanks to JWA), so perhaps that & smart merchandising decisions will help them maintain momentum.

That's all fine and dandy but it was not Celine by DL, it was Celine by PP. Under a minimally different setting his work for Bottega could have been PP Celine, and if I remember correctly, he was pretty vocally criticized even for that on here.

His Burberry looks complete 360 from what he's done anyone and I think that has been addressed repeatedly on here. Adds to my argument that people give PP wayyyyyy too much credit. Maybe the missing link at PP is DL lol

 

[WAVES]

couple of interesting ideas but not overall very underwhelming.

A standing ovation? For this?

In 2008 with Elbaz at his peak, with Nicolas at his peak, Theyskens, Pilati doing a good job (before 08), everybody delivering beautiful collections, some of them the best ones the Earth has ever seen… and they never got a standing ovation. But this non event does?



If you tell me it’s Prabal Gurung trying to look Parisian I’d buy it.

Fashion is just a joke these days. Period. Fashion shows are turning into Met Gala cheapness.

 

[YohjiAddict]

To be honest I was expecting even worse coming from them, it was a waste of time to watch the livestream but I did like the jackets, the asymmetrical skirts and that one striped minidress. Very very safe but at least it retains some of JW’s quirkiness, God knows these two are capable of such tediously boring fashions when left to their own devices.
