At Paris Fashion Week, LOEWE unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 women’s collection with the much-anticipated debut of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the duo formerly behind Proenza Schouler. Stepping in after Jonathan Anderson’s transformative tenure, they faced the challenge of honouring the house’s legacy while setting their own direction—and delivered a confident balance of respect and reinvention.
The runway backdrop, Ellsworth Kelly’s Yellow Panel with Red Curve (1989), echoed the collection’s spirit: bold, minimal, and radiant. That clarity translated into sculptural sportswear—pared-back parkas, sharp polos, saturated denim, and leather manipulated into unexpected textures. Dresses skimmed the body with precise tailoring and flashes of skin, while sneakers and sport-inspired flats kept the pace relaxed and modern.
Accessories made their mark with the Amazona 180, a slouchy, double-faced update of LOEWE’s iconic bag, instantly spotted in the crowd outside the venue. The Jardin des Plantes swelled with editors and stylists in vintage LOEWE leather and bold brights, with more than a few Amazona debuts tucked under arms. The front row leaned into quiet luxury with pops of colour, syncing perfectly with the collection’s palette.
As a debut, it felt assured—neither nostalgic nor abrupt. By channelling Spanishness through colour, craft, and sensuality, McCollough and Hernandez opened a new chapter for LOEWE, charged with optimism, clarity, and a sense that the house is poised for fresh momentum.
