After months of speculation and not-so-subtle hints, Jonathan Anderson is stepping down as creative director of Loewe after more than a decade of leading the brand. Since joining in 2013, the Northern Irish designer has played a key role in transforming Loewe into a powerhouse of modern luxury, blending heritage craftsmanship with a fresh, artistic approach. Under his leadership, the brand saw significant financial growth, with annual sales surpassing €1 billion.
Puzzle Bag
Anderson is widely credited with reviving Loewe’s identity, introducing iconic designs like the Puzzle bag and championing craftsmanship through initiatives such as the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize. His departure comes amid broader shifts in LVMH’s fashion division, fueling speculation that he may be in line for a major new role—potentially at Dior, where rumors suggest he could take over both the men’s and women’s collections.
Will they succeed? Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez
LVMH has not yet announced his successor at Loewe, but reports suggest that Proenza Schouler’s co-founders, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, may step into the role. I would love to see the designer couple at Loewe as I think they would be the perfect match. Anderson, meanwhile, has expressed gratitude for his time at Loewe and hinted at new creative opportunities ahead. His next move will be closely watched, as he remains one of the most influential designers in contemporary fashion.
The fashion industry keenly awaits official announcements regarding the future of many houses and designers. The wheel of fashion is spinning fast at the moment. To give Anderson a little homage, I put together some of my favorite looks, bags and shoes he did for Loewe.
LoL, Sandra
