LOEWE’s Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection experiments with sculptural slip dresses, exaggerated volumes and leather worked into fabric-like forms.
A dress can appear soft yet be made from a surprisingly rigid material. LOEWE’s Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection builds on that contradiction, turning familiar silhouettes into playful experiments in construction and surface.
Creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez presented the work at the Château de Vincennes with contributions from artist Cosima von Bonin. Humour is part of the mood, but demanding craft sits underneath it.
Fabric forms held still
Some slip-dress shapes, lace details and bows are translated into glossy 3D-printed pieces. Instead of falling naturally, the familiar form appears suspended in place like a small sculpture around the body.
Inflated parkas and oversized scarves work in the opposite direction, giving softer materials unusual volume. Both approaches ask the viewer to look again at what a garment is made from.
Leather behaves like textile
LOEWE continues to work leather into forms that resemble bouclé and knitted tartan. The technical challenge is to make a material associated with structure suggest the movement and texture of cloth.
Glossy, velvety and liquid-looking finishes add further contrast. Colour contributes to the overall feeling, but much of the interest lies in what happens when light moves across the surface.
Craft with a sense of humour
Von Bonin’s whimsical figures reinforce a playful approach that does not require the clothes to be unserious. Experimental construction becomes more approachable when there is an invitation to enjoy it.
For collectors of fashion and design, the runway work shows how established materials can still produce unexpected results. The house’s leather expertise provides the foundation for much of that experimentation.
