Day five of Paris Fashion Week and earlier today, Jonathan Anderson unveiled his latest collection for Loewe. Guests (including a bevy of A-list talent such as Brie Larson, Meg Ryan, Emilia Clarke and Shawn Mendes) flocked to the historic Château of Vincennes on the eastern edge of the French capital to digest Anderson’s collection inspired by the work of the late American landscape artist Albert York. Having a blatant talent for transforming something odd into something desirable and sophisticated, the Irish designer presented a lineup of eye-catching and whimsical silhouettes – adorned with floral, radish and bird motifs and often crafted from fabrics you might have found in the the living room of Anderson’s grandmother.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“That was really good. Great soundtrack as always! Much better than last season. Opening looks were elegant. Black and white draped gown felt out of place but still very nice. Loved the prints, the lettuce pants can go. The tailed tuxedo jackets were fab. The checkered gown! The appliqué checkered dress!” [youthinasia]
“Much better than the latest menswear collection! It’s focused and wearable, the weirdness is used in the right context, and the wit is still there. It also feels oddly commercial, but it shouldn’t be surprising with the brand’s expansion plan. I can also see the impact of [Adrian] Appiolaza leaving the brand, I guess he was responsible for the surreal touch.” [perhydrol]
“Very commercial but still interesting. Those matching shorts and tops and all the jumpers will sell out fast.” [tourbillions]
“A pretty damn good show from him, less gimmicks and flaws than the last 5 collections.” [yslforever]
“I think it’s a good collection! The set was a bit annoying and the presentation was far from enjoyable while watching it but the collection is good. This is not a collection that will inform fashion. It’s not a statement. It’s probably one of those collections that people will forget about but it’s good enough. There’s a consistency, an intricacy in terms of ideas that is good. I think the more commercial pieces here are fantastic. JWA is a great commercial designer!” [Lola701]
“The most beautiful looks were the commercial ones and less complicated ones. It is indeed a good collection!” [GivenchyAddict]
