Loewe presented its Fall-Winter 2026 collection in Paris at the Château de Vincennes, where creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez continued shaping the house through experimentation and craft. The designers approached the season with a sense of curiosity, pushing familiar garments into unexpected materials and exaggerated forms. The runway included both womenswear and menswear looks, marking the first time the house fully presented men’s pieces alongside women’s on the Paris stage.
The opening look immediately set the tone. A yellow latex slip dress moulded to resemble lace introduced the collection’s ongoing play between illusion and construction. Latex appeared throughout the lineup, sometimes crafted to mimic delicate pointelle knits or pyjama tops while maintaining a slick, sculptural finish.
Volume was another key theme. Inflated parkas and scarves appeared across the runway, engineered to hold exaggerated shapes that expanded classic outerwear silhouettes. One standout moment came through parka jackets inflated like pool floats, transforming technical outerwear into something surreal while still grounded in Loewe’s emphasis on craft.
Elsewhere, thick knitted mini skirts stretched into sweeping trains, while dresses incorporated unexpected materials such as tartan-like laundry bag fabrics and thick climbing rope. Even with the experimentation, Loewe’s leather craftsmanship remained central, with structured jackets and carefully crafted pieces that anchored the collection.
The show’s atmosphere leaned into humour and surrealism. Guests at the Château de Vincennes were seated alongside oversized plush sea creatures created by artist Cosima von Bonin, including a whale and an octopus placed throughout the front row. The installation echoed the playful spirit that ran through the collection itself.
