Beige, white, and yellow. The neckline, which looks as if three hoodies have been layered on top of each other, is a signature trompe-l’œil effect from LOEWE, and this design forms a single anorak.
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who have been appointed Creative Directors of , are a designer duo that has been at the forefront of the American fashion scene for a quarter of a century.
With themes of “a bold, sporty reinterpretation of men’s archetypes” and “an exploration of bold colors,” the debut collection paid homage to the house while opening up new possibilities. The anorak was a piece that symbolized this reborn Loewe.
The triple-layer structure already answers the theme, and even upon close inspection, it does not disappoint.
I layered three anoraks and fastened them at the hem to make one piece.
Three cuffs in a row.
The technical shell used for the body is incredibly lightweight—beyond what you’d expect. The texture created by the puckering is also a big plus. True to its “technical” name, it offers excellent wind resistance.
The silhouette created by the relaxed fit, with its generous cut through the body, is exceptionally fresh. The stretchy, regular-length hem and the front welt pockets serve as clever accents.
What really impressed me was the attention to detail on the cuffs. Here, too, white and yellow shells peek out. Such meticulous craftsmanship.
The embroidery of the new logo, featuring two “L”s side by side, is subtly placed on the chest.
