Loewe’s Erotic ss23 Muse
Jonathan Anderson once again invited us into his dream world with the anthurium as the main character. Loewe under Anderson’s leadership never does boring, a collection that defies silhouettes and gravity using a flower that evokes erotism as its base. A surrealist presentation where reality is literally blurred from the physical world.

Anderson came to insert life, playfulness and to deliver boundary pushing garments.

The collection’s innovation truly laid on the playful experimentation between space and body, inflated footwear, panniers jutting out of hips and tent-like dresses. Repetition was important as to expressing how nature imitates, three dresses in different tones expanded the models hips in a modern Baroque take. Then four dresses appeared to be suspended wire peaks defying gravity.
A pattern that was interrupted by an unexpected glitch, that is Anderson’s humorous design of what appears to be pixelated clothing, think unloaded Sims character or Minecraft. He even described them as the odd illusion that comes and breaks the pattern.
The body dictates how a house, building, road and clothes are designed. Anderson presented a collection where this relationship could be seen as a statement of how women can and will take up space.
Kylie Jenner, Em Rata and Emma Chamberlain grazed the A-list guest front row as models walked around a jumbo size anthurium set center stage. Wearing shrunken polo dresses, twisted knots, metal tops, pixelated hoodies, three dimensional dresses, gravity defying gown and literal flowers as bras and tops.
The accessories played with the unconventional, as leaves hung off of heels, deflated balloons reimagined as shoes 1and more flowers.
Loewe once again proved to be one of Europe’s leading luxury and creative fashion houses.
