5 Things We Loved About The Loewe Spring Summer 2026 Collection
For their Loewe debut, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez injected American sportswear energy into Spanish craftsmanship, serving up sculptural leather, billowing mini dresses, playful athleisure, and statement it-bags.
The time had come for Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez to unveil their vision of a new Loewe. The creative duo, founders of New York label Proenza Schouler, have stepped into one of the most influential roles in luxury fashion, debuting their first collection for the Spanish house at Parc Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris. Rather than simply inheriting a legacy, they were here to reframe it.
They began with a question: What does Spanishness mean in 2025 — liberated from nostalgia, yet deeply rooted in craft? Tapping into the brand’s 180-year heritage, they turned to artist Ellsworth Kelly as a conceptual springboard, transforming his painting Yellow Panel with Red Curve into a study of colour as emotion and silhouette as language.
The resulting collection radiated sensual minimalism and artistic eccentricity — a distinctly transatlantic interpretation of Loewe’s codes, merging New York precision with Spanish sensuality.
THERE WAS A RETURN OF THE POLLY POCKET-ESQUE CLOTHES…
A sharp, sculptural black leather blazer cinched like armour opened the show — a lean, hyper-moulded silhouette that once again blurs the line between garment and object. The duo embraced volume at the hips, sending out porcelain-like mini dresses in vibrant florals and lacquered finishes. These shapes weren’t callbacks; they were provocations — a signal that clothing at Loewe is more than fashion, it’s form.
… AND A SPORTY MOMENT
Athleticism appeared not as trend, but as attitude. There were polo knits stretched over the form, bomber jackets sliced with racing stripes, parkas rendered in saturated tones — worn askew, layered with spontaneity, as if mid-transformation. The effect was kinetic, disrupting the idea of luxury as static. This was Loewe in motion.
THE NEW IT-BAG OFFERINGS
The debut of Loewe’s new Amazon 180 (in middle) sent phones flying. A subversion of the house’s iconic Amazona, it retains the boxy silhouette but is designed to be worn open — exposing a sculptural interior and the newly reimagined double-L emblem. Elsewhere, craft turned playful: shell-woven totes, warped egg clutches, and Flamenco bags layered with colour like rippling fabric. This wasn’t just a collection of accessories — it was a toolkit for self-expression.
FUNKY SHOES ARE HERE TO STAY
It wouldn’t be a Loewe show without a pair (or several) of shoes stealing the spotlight. This season, heels – some translucent, others in black or white – came with swappable inner socks in multiple colours, giving them versatility. They are already making their way onto many wish lists, we bet!
NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS
Amidst the polished looks, there were moments of intentional disruption: knitted shirting was shown crumpled, paper-like dresses appeared wrinkled with visible creases. Some models even walked the runway in what appeared to be towels as dresses, but this being Loewe, there was a twist: each fibre was meticulously hand-sewn, taking 135 hours to achieve the illusion of terry cloth. The same technique was applied to mimic the look of denim and coats, perfectly echoing the tongue-in-cheek element intrinsic to the brand.
