Idyllic world of Loewe

Loewe’s Paris Fashion Week presentation unfolded in the labyrinthine confines of a gallery space bathed in the hues of three different shades of green. Inspired by the color palette of renowned American artist Albert York, the showcase featured 18 of York’s paintings. Celebrated for their modest scale and depictions of serene landscapes, floral arrangements and notable collectors, these works adorned the gallery’s walls. With this collection, Jonathan Anderson challenges us to consider the value of what we own and wear.

Delving into York’s legacy and his association with Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Anderson considered the evolution of craftsmanship and its meaning across generations and contexts. Reflecting on York’s reclusiveness and the place of his paintings in the home of an American icon, Anderson sparked a conversation about class, wealth and the changing meaning of luxury in today’s world.  The new collection reflects on the objects collected by wealthy Americans, including tableware. Inspiration is drawn from objects produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Factory, the first major porcelain-making factory in England. Painting on these plates evolved into embroidery on bags and clothing.
