If the two previous collections by Anderson took us to faraway lands, a sort of escapism from the crude reality we’ve been living in for the past years, the Fall/Winter 2020 season is taking us somewhere else: our childhood. With quirky, fun felt hats and shoes that bring us back memories from years dominated by carelessness and the lack of responsibilities, Anderson presents us with a feeling of optimism. Furthermore, Loewe’s Creative Director “works on notions of motion and tension, with a sense of optimism pushed to an obscure edge”, the note continues. “An idea of scorched glamour comes to the fore.”

This scorched glamour is translated into elegant coats with a twist – big collars, poncho-like capes, eye-catchy prints like plaid and stripes, or bicolour models –, rich materials like leather, satin, or cashmere, embellished jumpers, or decorative chains. But there is also the playfulness of childhood in accessories, for example, like the maxi jumbo Elephant bags – some of which also come in embellished, studded form – as well as a new model resembling a sheep. In all, Anderson delivers another beautiful collection where he strips things to technique “to let the grain of the material dialogue with the couture opulence of the shapes.”
