One week ago, I posted whom I would love to see at Loewe after Jonathan Anderson’s exit had been announced and yesterday the Spanish House fulfilled my prediction: Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the duo behind Proenza Schouler, will be taking over as the brand’s new creative directors starting April 7, 2025. They’re stepping in after Jonathan Anderson, who spent 11 years transforming Loewe into a globally respected fashion house with over $1.5 billion in annual revenue.
Their work has been instrumental in shaping modern fashion, with a design practice rooted in a rigorous exploration of craft filtered through an artistic sensibility, which has not only evolved the industry’s landscape but aligns with the values that underscore Loewe’s 179-year heritage. This move is also part of a bigger shake-up by Loewe’s parent company, LVMH, as they fine-tune leadership across several luxury labels.
It’s a pretty big shift, and I am curious and excited to see how their American fashion background will influence Loewe’s next chapter.

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.

For the past few years, Loewe has been back in the fashion scene in full force. Fashionistas around the globe crave for the trendy designs by Jonathan Anderson, who got appointed as creative director in 2013. The Spanish House has been undergoing a steady transformation since then. Under Anderson’s creative vision, the famous Anagram logo got remodeled.
The quadruple-L insignia designed in 1970 by Spanish artist Vicente Vela appears now in different ways on ready-to-wear and accessories. The cropped tank tops with the mini logo have been on everyone’s wish list, so don’t miss out!

Evoking memories of Victorian botanical and vegetable gardens, Jonathan Anderson and in-house perfumer Nuria Cruelles, Spanish fashion powerhouse Loewe turns its prowess to homeware in its latest collection of beautifully wax candleholders. Their clean-burning vegetable wax is filling the room with a garden atmosphere. The best part? It’s shaped to a classic candlestick silhouette that’s perfect for the likes of tablescapes and mantle shelves.
It’s designed to be placed on a base when lit and comes in a beautifully decorated box that’s easy to re-purpose.

Leave it to Jonathan Anderson to make walking on eggshells aspirational. At first glance, I could hardly believe my eyes. Birthday candles, nail polish bottles, roses, cracked eggs and even a bar of soap were shaped into heels for LOEWE’s S/S 2022 collection.
I find it a stroke of genius and so instagrammable. Personally speaking, a must for Sandra’s Closet. It’s hard not to want to collect them all as objects of desire. Just even on display…

Fine art and high fashion collide very often at Loewe. This season, Jonathan Anderson turned the works of ceramicist Ken Price (1935 – 2012) into wearable art. Blue sky thinking: the American artist’s optimistic ceramics and vibrant, sunny landscapes are featured in this capsule collection of ready-to-wear and accessories by the Madrid-based label. Ken Price’s eclectic influences ranged from Mexican folk art to surf culture and defied categorization. He was committed to clay as a material, producing both abstract and biomorphic forms, as well as more functional objects.

Explore the Loewe x Ken Price collection by motif. Choose between the artist’s La Palme, Easter Island and Happy Curios series.
Capturing L.A.’s quintessential ease, Price’s colourful drawings feature as prints on silk shirts, sweatshirts and cropped culottes, or as intarsia on cashmere cardigans and jumpers.
Loewe’s famous intarsia technique has been used to translate the brightly coloured motifs across signature shapes such as the Puzzle, Bamboo Bucket and Hammock bags.
Reflecting the spirit of Ken Price’s handcrafted aesthetic, the Fringes series of intensely crafted finely woven leather basket bags is launching alongside the capsule collection.

«Art is the flower… life the green leaf.» – Charles Rennie Mackintosh
This holiday season, LOEWE is launching a special capsule collection inspired by the work of renowned Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). Regarded as one of the originators of modernism, his seismic influence on the 20th century arts & crafts movement is still being felt to this day.
With a full accessories line and ready-to-wear for men and women, the holiday collection celebrates the vast scope of the designer’s work, from his architecture through to his furniture design. Playing with the various facets of the Mackintosh universe, LOEWE honours his distinctive aesthetic by incorporating his signature grid patterns, stained glass windows and botanical watercolours across the range.
When I was in Madrid mid November, I was happy to explore the collection in the brand’s flagship store in the Salamanca district before it is now hitting the shelves worldwide.
The CASA LOEWE is all about interior design and customer experience thanks to LOEWE‘s creative director Jonathan Anderson. The lifestyle store spans three floors (totaling over 10,760 square feet) of a landmarked 19th-century building.
To delve deeper into Mackintosh’s mind and genius, I invite you to look at this fascinating collection:
Black T-Shirt
Rose-print wool dress
Print crepe blazer
Sweatshirt dress
Gate leather shoulder bag
Patch pink mohair blanket
Stay tuned for an outfit post with my favorite pieces from this collection!

This summer, gingham has re-emerged and is having a big moment. It’s appearing everywhere ― on runways, red carpets and Instagram. Jonathan Anderson played with the idea of sculptural shapes for Loewe’s S/S 2018 runway and this midi dress, which is one of my summer favorites, has a cutout waist and feminine gingham poplin panels that really stand out against the contrasting twill. By the way, you can also unbutton the dramatic ruffled shoulders for a simpler look which I haven’t done so far as I like the drama…
My look: Convertible cutout twill and gingham poplin dress, and Barcelona gingham mini bag, both by Loewe, Agon embellished platform pumps by Gucci and Eiffel tower pearl earrings by Chanel.
