Loewe fuses high and low, tailoring and couture, to wow Paris Fashion Week

PARIS — A green labyrinthine art gallery surrounded Loewe’s luminaries on Friday where they breathed crisp air from enveloping woodland on Paris’ eastern edge, among the ancient stones of Chateau de Vincennes. The gallery-decor walls were lined with the framed, wooded landscapes of artistic outsider and American painter Albert York, a clear statement of commonality from the brand’s one-time outsider fashion designer, Jonathan Anderson. The space, composed of orange aluminum walls made by exquisite anodizing technique, expresses Issey Miyake’s philosophy of craftsmanship and energy for the future.” BECKHAM: A STUDY IN STYLING, PRECISION AND COHESION Victoria Beckham’s collection, presented at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild, showcased a deliberate approach to styling and design, threading through various decades with consistent precision. YAMAMOTO’S BOLD SILHOUETTES Yohji Yamamoto, the venerable Japanese designer renowned for his avant-garde approach to fashion, presented a masterclass collection in dramatic layering and architectural forms. These pieces, reminiscent of the legendary British designer Vivienne Westwood’s iconic punk-inspired creations, paid homage to a legacy of fashion rebellion while firmly establishing Yamamoto’s collection as a beacon of innovative design.
