Loewe’s Fall Winter 2026 Collection Plays With Texture And Form In Unexpected Ways

On March 6, Loewe invited esteemed guests to Château de Vincennes in Paris, unveiling their Fall Winter 2026 collection. Inside, yellow, lacquered flooring immediately drew attention, but what piqued interests were who – or rather, what – was sitting in the front row: oceanic velvet plushies. They were none other than the works of artist Cosima von Bonin, a major collaborator for this new collection, and offered clues of what was to be expected for Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s sophomore outing for the Spanish house.

It’s clear that the duo is quite serious about being unserious. Leaning into the idea of play and humour, the pieces rendered shocking colours, lightness, and a sense of absurdity. Cue sculpted leather looks, whale-sized proportions, and slithery dresses. While embodying the Loewe language of whacky and whimsy, the pair injected their own earnest, lighthearted fun into the collection, painting Paris Fashion Week with a surprising sense of joy and optimism. 

Let’s dive into the highlights from the Loewe Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

WHEN LOOKS ARE DECEIVING

A buttery yellow slip dress in what appeared to be made of lace opened the show, except the deceitfully delicate number was actually casted from latex. Some skirts had fur-like trails dragging the floor – later revealed to be cut-up leather pieced together to mimic the texture and look of the actual material. Later, those two techniques re-appeared in pyjama tops and tartan sweaters in saturated colours. What you see isn’t always what you get, and that’s just one of the unexpected ways the duo keeps us on our toes. 

INFLATED PROPORTIONS

The designers toyed with proportions just enough to make a statement. Here, puffiness was taken to new heights. The pieces weren’t simply stuffed, but made to actually look airy. Jackets, scarves, and pillow-like silhouettes spilling over coats at the hips were crafted using an industrial process, where materials were cut with laser and sealed to create airtight seam, resulting in inflatable forms. 

THEY WENT UNDER THE SEA…

On the runway, the aquatic theme was communicated via silhouettes that borrowed from scuba gear. At Loewe, a wetsuit becomes fitted top, finished with Cosima von Bonin’s florals repainted over latex, and crab claws dangle on a string of bags. The same Polly Pocket-esque jackets made a reappearance, though in this context, they channelled diving uniforms. The footwear followed – sneakers took the form of diving boots, offered in purple, yellow, green, blue, orange, white, and black. 

…AND TO THE SHORE

Not everything screamed hyper-sleek and saturated. Gingham repeatedly provided warmth on sweaters, coats, dresses, and adorned a slouchy new bag called Whiskers. Terry fabric with fur trims clothed the body in dress form, but worn just like a towel. The collection continuously shifts between underwater and on land, injecting the fall collection a refreshing summer palette and structure. 

MENSWEAR, MADE PLAYFUL

While the new duo helming as creative directors have yet to debut a standalone menswear show, this collection might give us a preview of what is to come. Echoing that same playfulness, the menswear involved brightly coloured sweaters, tailored trousers, and shearling coats in gradient trim, offering a quintessential fall wardrobe.
