Tracee Ellis Ross, Meg Ryan, and Karlie Kloss Join LOEWE and Saks Fifth Avenue to Celebrate Exclusive Fall/Winter 2024 Edit and NYC Flagship Takeover
September 8, 2024
Spanish luxury house LOEWE and luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue have joined forces to unveil an exclusive edit of the Spanish luxury house's Fall Winter 2024 collection. This collaboration marks a milestone for fashion, bringing together Jonathan Anderson's visionary designs with Saks' unparalleled retail experience.
On Saturday, September 7, LOEWE and Saks marked this milestone with a glamorous rooftop dinner at Pace Gallery in New York City. LOEWE Creative Director Jonathan Anderson and Saks Chief Merchandising Officer Tracy Margolies hosted celebrities and fashion insiders, including Tracee Ellis Ross, Greta Lee, Meg Ryan, Evan Peters, Karlie Kloss, and Dame Anna Wintour. The event featured breathtaking city views, specialty cocktails, and a three-course meal by chef August Johnson of One White Street.
The star-studded soirée complemented the immersive retail experience at the Saks Fifth Avenue New York flagship, where LOEWE has taken over with garden-themed installations inspired by the Fall/Winter 2024 collection. Running through September 23, the takeover includes the iconic Fifth Avenue windows and interior displays featuring towering vegetable sculptures showcasing designs from the Saks-exclusive edit.
Art-Inspired Innovation
LOEWE's Creative Director, Jonathan Anderson, has crafted a collection that blurs the lines between fashion and art. Drawing inspiration from American artists Richard Hawkins and Albert York, as well as historic English ceramics, Anderson presents a line that is both thought-provoking and visually arresting.
"It's exciting to be working with Saks on a collaboration that echoes the craft and innovation of the LOEWE Fall Winter 2024 collections that is centered on two great, but very distinct American artists, Richard Hawkins and Albert York, as well as historic English ceramics," Anderson remarked, emphasizing the creative synergy between the two brands.

- New colorways for the Gala Sandal and LOEWE Flow Runner Sneaker
- Five limited-edition LOEWE Squeeze Bags, each adorned with over 20,000 hand-sewn beads
- Ethereal floral print dresses inspired by Albert York's paintings

- Towering vegetable sculptures throughout the store
- A LOEWE juice bar on the 10022-SHOE floor (September 6-7)
Tracy Margolies, Chief Merchandising Officer at Saks, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: "Jonathan Anderson is a visionary and a changemaker, and Saks has been mesmerized by his innovative and boundary-pushing approach from the start of his journey at LOEWE. We are thrilled to mark an important milestone in our partnership with Jonathan and LOEWE with this exclusive edit."
