Bringing a focus to the clothes.
The almost-limitless opportunities that the internet affords mean that creating a virtual fashion show is often a practice in merging the latest technologies with garments. For creative director Jonathon Anderson, he shrugged off the temptation of digital-based gimmicks for something more tangible.
The show-in-a-box, which arrived at the doorsteps of the brand’s regular fashion show attendees, gave an insight into the world of this collection. The box included a pop-up show set, textile samples and outfits that you could stick to your own 3-D ‘models’ amongst much more. This stroke of genius meant that the array of materials allowed for a deeper look into a collection than is often possible through a physical show.
Of course, there was an online element to the brands showing as well. It utilised its website and Instagram page to show a programme of artists and musicians that presented their creative craft.
The garments which all of this was centred around were typical of Loewe and Anderson. Shown on manikins against a plain white backdrop, sculptural sleeves, tie-dye prints and a focus on circles – stencil cut into garments, as panels and as a silhouette – produce an experimental range. One classic garment that is repeatedly played with is the trench coat, as billowing pleated sleeves and overlaying panels update the traditional jacket.
